Ik this hasn’t got anything to do with my addiction but my birthday is coming up and my dad hasn’t been in my life for years and my mom called him and he said my mom babies me too much as a grown man but in my eyes I’m like “but she was the only one that cared when you were with other women when I needed you the most”I don’t know how to feel about my relationship with my father as a man I’m really been trying to find myself for a long time as a man I want to go into the military as my dream and break the curse that he started but my bad if I’m doing too much venting a lot happened today in my mind
Brother, bring it here and vent. That relationship with your father is probably one of the reasons you’re here. I know I’ve used porn to mask painful feelings and some childhood trauma. But you said it yourself, you’re not sure how to feel about your relationship. You get to choose how you want to feel about it. Your dad can say and feel whatever he wants. But so do you. If you want his point of view to mean something, that’s your choice. If you think he shouldn’t have a say because he wasn’t there for you, that’s also your choice. My point is that you get to decide for yourself how to feel about it, not him. He made his choice. You can make your own. Relationship stuff is hard, but I’m glad you’re here and feel comfortable letting us weigh in. And God bless your mom, she’s obviously been there for you a lot more.
