Dear GhanaWeb,
I am reaching out for help with a difficult situation involving my father. He is 65 years old and has tattoos on his arms, chest, and back. In his younger years, he used to proudly display these tattoos, but now he no longer cares about them.
Unfortunately, my father’s past actions have caused a great deal of pain and suffering in our family. He was unfaithful to my mother, which ultimately led to her developing high blood pressure and passing away at a young age. Since my mother’s death, my father has been trying to make amends and has been a responsible figure in our lives.
Despite his efforts to change, I find myself unable to let go of the anger and resentment I feel towards him. I am the youngest in the family and the only one still living with him. I often find myself lashing out at him, physically harming him in moments of rage.
Recently, I went too far and caused my father to fall and hit his head, resulting in him losing consciousness. I am filled with guilt and regret for the harm I have caused him. I want to break free from this cycle of violence and repair my relationship with my father.
I acknowledge that my actions are driven by unresolved feelings of hurt and betrayal. I desperately want to find a way to heal and move forward in a positive direction.
I am reaching out for guidance and support in finding a way to address my emotions and repair my relationship with my father. I want to learn how to let go of the anger and pain that is consuming me, and become the loving daughter that he deserves.
Thank you for your help and guidance.
Sincerely,
FG/EB
