Behind Closed Doors: The Candice Sanders Story, uncensored

Chapter#5: My Father

My father and I have always been close he's like my best friend. But my dad has his flaws. I used to look up to him because I didn't have my mother, I was just blessed to have my dad. We used to talk on the phone with my mom but that was when I was 3 or 4 years old, than the calls stopped. Most girls are afraid to talk to their father or parents in general about relationships, I tell my dad everything.

My dad knows that I lost my virginity, most would be like "wow that's crazy." But My dad doesn't really say anything bad he just says "well I can't be mad at you cause it was gonna happen some time, just make sure you're using protection." And I thought to myself "wow he took that a lot better than I thought he would." My father isn't perfect, at one point I thought I was the only child, between my mom and dad and that I was the only child my dad ever had. I was wrong in 2011 I think I met my older brother from a previous relationship my dad had years back. He looks just like me, I love my brother, than my dad had another baby in 2012 so now he has 3 kids one girl, and two boys.

It's 2017 and I had just found out on January 5, 2017 that I had another baby brother who had just been born that day a few minutes before I found out I even had a brother or that my dad was having a baby. The whole 9 months gone by and I had no idea of this woman or this baby. I was very upset I cried because my dad has never not told me something but I'm pretty sure he has but hiding the fact he was gonna have a baby really bothered me.

He tried to say " I never answer my phone." But we had talked in between those months why didn't you tell me than. You wait until the day he's born to tell me I have a brother. Than I find out he has another one on the way, I don't know if it's a girl or a boy. My dad means a lot to me but some of the things he does bothers me. I count on my dad to be there for me because my grandma and my aunt can't always give me money or do things at that time so I call my dad for help. I know that he can't always do it but how hard is it to put $50 in the account for me so I can get the things I need, or want. "A daughter should not have to beg her father for a relationship."
