My father helped me leave. He said, 'It's all out there, it's not here.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My father left... but I tell my mom - and I told my mom this when I was a kid - I said, 'You know what, Mom? Good thing he left because you're a strong woman.'
Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.
I got my family here and my career here and I'm sitting here in the middle, and I'm stuck. So I have to do something, you know, have to reach out and get some help.
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
Dad, wherever you are, you are gone but you will never be forgotten.
I grew up in a small place and left it when I was quite young and entered the bigger world.
I had been out there long enough. I had not seen my family for four years.
My father left when I was really young, but he's still living. There are things I wish I'd said that I didn't and I don't think I'll ever get the opportunity to say. He's battled addiction problems his entire life. I wish things were different. I wish there were a way my son could know him, know the good parts of him.
My dad's not here, but he's watching in heaven.
In Heaven, I believe my dad is somewhere doing something nice. I feel I've been too lucky to travel this far without somebody guiding me.
