All the years that you were away from my life,
You lost your place in my heart.
Believe me, I tried everything possible to keep you alive in there but my heart just moved on after a while.

I do not know why you were away from my life all that time.
I am not even sure I can understand your reason(s).
I was so hurt then, and I am still hurt now.

Now, should you want to get back in my life,
There is a lot that has to be done by you and I….
You lost your place in my heart, remember?!
Oh! I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this with your parents. It seems difficult. Sometimes writing things down helps, and I hope that doing so was therapeutic for you.
😩😍
It’s a tough situation when this happens. We always look up to our parents and when they aren’t around, it hurts. The healing process will take time but I do hope it all works out in the end.

This one hit home. My parents and I haven’t had a relationship in a long time. I’m sorry that you went through this as well. We all deserve parents who will be there for us.
😍👏🏿
I do think there are some acts that deserve to have relationships terminated. It’s sad, but a part of life.
🙏🏽👏🏿
You’ll definitely have a hard time forgiving one another. But the outcome of that reconciliation could be wonderful – family together again!
😍👏🏿
Aww, this is sad to read. I am lucky enough to have my parents by my side. I hope you’ll find a place again in your heart for her.
😍👏🏿
This is super sad and tugged on my heart strings for sure. Sometimes relationships go through ups and downs so hopefully there is chance of resolve xx
😍😘
I’ve been through tough times, raised by my grandmother who passed when I was in my 20’s, and then my birth mother passing as well. It is tough not to have parental figures in your life, for whatever reason.
😩😩
I appreciate the vulnerability and honesty in your writing. It takes courage to share such personal experiences. Your words are a reminder that relationships are complex and ever-changing.
😩😩
This one hits hard. I have my own issues with my parents and quite often I’m left feeling like they no longer deserve a place in my head or my heart.
😭😩
I`m in a similar situation with my mom, plus I never met my father. Therapy helped me a lot. I feel your pain.
😩😭
As a teacher I see so many different situations. One child is being raised by her great grandmother because two generations skipped out on her. God bless those who step up.
😩🙏🏽
I just felt this way a week ago. I tried, but I think that’ s over and done with. I forgive them and I am sorry to have responded erringly, but I cannot live around them and them around me. We’re just not meant to be togther.
😩😭
Sadly, I have the exact relationship with my mum. It’s so hard to build a strong relationship with her again.
😩😭
My heart weeps for anyone who hasn’t had their parents in their hearts or lives. I count my blessings for two beautiful parents who raised seven children – I don’t know how they found that much love to spread around to all of us. My hope for you is you at some time are able to experience a little piece of what I have.
😩😭
Such a sad post but I feel you. Someone has lost their place in my heart too and it’s forgiving them is the hardest part.
😩😭
Great post!
🙏🏽
This is such an emotional piece of writing. I think many people can relate to it.
👍🙏🏽
This really hit so hard. Thanks for sharing this with us. I believe that every problem can resolve.
😩👍
What a sweet and heart touching post. It is so hard when are parents aren’t around and the healing sure can take time.

This one tugs at your heart strings. It’s such a sad thing when children grow up without their parents being a part of their lives.
😩😭
Honestly, it’s the hardest thing to lose a parent from our hearts. And it has a lot of work to do in order to fix it. And take time as well.
👍🙏🏽
