My relationship between my father and me, used to be quite normal, he would ask about my day, how school was, the usual, tell me all this advice and always say how well he wanted me to do at school, and that he knew that I'd achieve my goals. He always said, "You can do anything you want Katie, just know you have to work for it in order to get there."
I still lived by that. I worked hard on all my assignments, I'd always ask how I could improve on what I missed out and I still work my butt off, all the time. I'm sure my father knows it already, but to some extent I want to to do well now so I can rub it in his face, that maybe he will realise he has a daughter. That he will notice me. All for what? It took him nine years. I have unresolved feelings for my father. He left me, he hurt me, he basically abandoned me, I had to figure out how to do life on my own, without him in it. Now he is in contact with me again, I'm still so angry about the most recent letter, his partner and he's happy and he never loved my mother crap. I suppose I'll write back another day, once I'm past the anger, although I'll never get past the pain of him walking out without an explanation, and dispersing for years, I always felt it. I still do. Although there is still a part of me that misses him and wishes that he never walked out our front door.
