For A Family Miracle

[tinytherese]

I'm writing my dad everything that I feel in regards to my relationship with him and why I don't want to see him. He is an abuser and I don't feel safe around him. This letter might push him into going into therapy and seeking the help of our praish priest. I am going at it with a guarded heart though because I know that abusers are known for pretending to change when they really haven't just to get someone back. My mom is separating from him because of what he has done to me. My brother and I are going to live with her. Mom is hoping that he will take advantage of this opportunity to re-evaluate his relationships. Please also pray for my own healing because what he did was very wrong and violating. I need to heal away from him and he needs to understand that. I can't so easily trust the man who could have raped me had I been alone in our home with him. He sent me an email on saturday that he could have sent to me just to try to win me back, but he has written me a note in the past like it. What he said in that note was not the man that I grew up knewing or the man that I knew afterwards. His actions simply weren't adding up then or afterwards so how am I supposed to believe it now? Please pray for my family as well. I don't know how my dad's side of the family will react and mom has it hard.
