RE: 2 Years ago today my dad died. Things were not easy in my family, but he was my dad. I don't discuss family or personal matters much. STEEMIT EXCLUSIVE ONLY Content.

Wow, this is a very personal story indeed. Doesn't get to much more vulnerable than this....It really is amazing how family (who ideally are the ones who trust and get along with the most) are often the most difficult or painful.
Its great to see that you have found so much love and peace with such a painful situation.
I feel for you. Its difficult to deal with family issues as it goes to the core of who we are. Its also very difficult to loose family because even if we were not that close they have always in some way been a part of our life.....Its almost like a part of our self dies.....
I think its a healthy sign that you are able to write this. A healthy sign of your character and also for the hopes of healing and improvement with life.
