I Have Insomnia

Something very troubling. I have felt to blame for my father's suicide. I was 5 months short of 4 years old when he killed himself. Before that event, the home was in turmoil. I've felt it was my demands as a child, my needs, that pushed him over the edge. So I grew up without a loving father too. Perhaps this is why I have the self esteem of a stone, where players make a bee line for me, and I cannot sleep well, have insomnia

Dear Lady.... it must have been hard to grow up with that feeling.... but you are not a child anymore... I have found you wise, strong and determined....

I had felt so guilty about my loving dad... I felt guilty because of a relationship that I had and he never approved it....

he died when I was married to someone that he really liked as his son in law.... but the guilt feeling has stayed with me until today...

This song never fails to make me cry.... never

@Soossie Aww Soossie, Thank you for your kind, wise words, sharing what happened to you, and this beautiful song. I cried too when I listened to it...all the pain,the loss, the sorrow
(((Hugs))) we just try to live our lives... and should not feel guilty about anything... guilt is a very destructive feeling.

@Soossie (((Hugs))) Agreed guilt is a destructive feeling. I've felt to blame, the catalyst for what happened. But it's true, I'm not a child anymore and must know this isn't true
