❤️Confronting the Past "Not Today Dad"

crying, . . .

fearing for my life, . .

hearing my dad threatening to kill us, . . .

being afraid as a kid, never calling the police, . . .

month after month, . . . . and year after year, nothing. . .

changing, one day, my awakening, hearing my father,

calling my mother such abhorrent names, so . . .

trying to calm him down, asking him, . . .

doing what I never did before, . . .

saying simply two words, repeating, . . .

again and again, simply saying, "not today"

looking directly, deeply, eye to eye, smiling. . . .

mind to mind combat, relaxing, calmly, . .

preparing to permanently end him, . . .

. . . .

. . . .

seeing the impossible, my dad becoming fearful,

looking down, confused, intimidated, shaken, . . .

leaving thy house, driving off, returning later, . . .

never again, dad being violent, me,

yelling: "NOT TODAY!"

seeing him being. . .

scared of . . .

me . . .

. . .

    What strength and bravery that must have taken as a son! You say, "Forgive." It's not always easy, but you're the better person for it. 💜
