In Search Of My Father

This is my story… As I remember it. My reality, my distorted perspective through the lens of trauma. My sparkling joys and darkest, most painful miseries. My strife. My secrets and fall from grace into a rape treatment facility and the unbelievably difficult climb through depression back to self-love and faith. My father used to say that there simply isn't enough time in life to make all the mistakes in the world ourselves; we must learn from each other if we wish to advance as a human race. In response, I offer, “In Search of My Father”, hoping that fathers might begin to know how vital their presence is in their children’s lives. If others are inspired to create healthy parent-child relationships or accept their fathers even sooner than I did, then every word was worth writing. This is my story, my own self-help book. But above all else, this is the truth of a broken little girl who grew into a compassionate young woman, one who spent far too much time in search of her father.
