Very moving and powerful. Beautiful in its depth. I come from a divorced family and remember the sadness, rage, pain and confusion when one parent or the other left. If parents knew the kind of pain inflicted on their kids when they do this, they might think twice.

Lori,
Once again, an incredible poem. I know that child and you definitely captured the experience and emotion of loss and guilt. Well done.

These are never easy to write. This was done so well through the eyes of a small child. The small child almost always believes it is something that they did wrong or failed to do to make things right, but we all know that is not the case. Sometimes adults make mistakes and can no longer live their lives as they wish to or sometimes there is no other alternative. This was presented very well Lori...I know for I have been there. It is very real for me and affected me so that I had trouble dealing with it for so many years. The demons increased their attacks when I was at the lowest point of my life and I realized it was up to me to fight back. I found my sabre and I hope you have found yours as well.

She was always good enough. It's impossible for a 6 year old not to be worthy of a father's love.
