I have always wanted love from my dad and I would never get it or anything close to it. He was always in and out of my life and that hurt me alot because it all gave me a chance to get attached to him, and then he would leave again, for months and months... then after awhile, he just stopped calling and popping up every now and then, he just gave up on me and my three sisters after awhile and became completely absent in our lives, its been 3 years since we saw him or talked to him and it hurts like hell, his absence is killing me and alot of people don't know that, and if they do.. they don't know how bad but this book tells it all.
