how could you leave
i was only 5
alan was 7
and moma was 25
but i guess you made your choice
drugs over love
i thought hell was home when you were here
always fighting and throwing things and yelling
even on christmas birthdays and whenever
never stopping and thinking that your kids were right there watching
the day you left i thought we'd be happy
but every day i'd ask moma whens daddy comein home
then moma and alan had to leave but not by choice
i was left all alone with no place to call home
so there i was left to live on my own
waiting for the day you got home
i was so happy to see you after all those years
i thought there would be no more tears no more fears
it was fine for a while then you started acting up agin
and i knew it would be the end
so there you went agin chosen drugs over love what little love i gave anyways
so now i don't call yuou daddy and never will agin
i found one who is always there for me
when i need him and when i don't
something you never did and never will do
so bye person i thought i loved cause this is the last thing i'll ever say to you

so sad
Oh baby girl, I know what your going through. I miss you so much and want to help you deal with your pain. You have been left to deal with it alone for too long. Your the daughter I always wanted and I am sorry your Dad chose drugs over you. I will always be here for you and you write beautifully from the heart. I love you kimmy girl. Remember I am ALWAYS here for you!

I know how hard it is to talk about home life, present or past. It's a real touchy subject and I'm honored you are willing to share it with us. All I need is for you to tell me what family member you want to be to me, it's for the judging. Thanks for entering!
