RE: Travel blog: Military Lifestyle Programmed Me To Keep Moving!

in #travel7 years ago

enjoy your adventures, brie! your story reminds me of my dad's. unfortunately he left me and my mother when i was 1, but i had a chance to visit him in australia when i was in my 20s and i asked him about his choice and he said he felt like australia 'called' him. he's been involved with liberating aboriginal australians for more than half his life so although i could feel resentment in my own personal life, you can't ignore a calling when you really hear it! cheers to your adventures and continue to keep everyone posted! :)

Sort:  

Australia huh? Thats cool, was the resentment because he left you guys? My father was never there either but I think it was just cuz he wasn't ready to be a father.

the resentment was the apathy and neglect and that he would show up in my life and then disappear for months/years at a time. i dont think my dad was ready to be a father either, but i mean you made your bed so sleep in it. but thats about as deep as it goes. i wouldnt make the same choice...i havent but a place can be renewing to the point that NOTHING from the past matters.

it happens, lol i totally agree with the you made your bed, so sleep in it. Some people just can't handle that pressure I guess? Sorry that happened for you! Have you been still healing from it or do you think its something you have kinda come to terms with?

DAILY forgiveness, DAILY healing
