You might still love the guy, and that’s ok, it doesn’t make you a weak person. It just highlights your loving nature and reminds you every day that you’re far from being like him.
Yeah, I know! What you’ve experienced with your dad has made an everlasting mark on your concept of love and affection. And you may feel like you’re cursed to forever lack true love. You are not. He was a dick, not a wizard, so come on, girl, you got this!
Remember that you’re now free to open yourself to the love that best fits that big heart of yours. Take it easy, though, baby steps are needed since you might be fragile and guarded at first.
You’re not a porcelain doll, you just need some time to assess your feelings and better judge your instincts.
Be protective but assertive with your heart. Be kind to yourself when you fail at allowing others to get close to you, care for you and love you. You’ll get better at being comfortable being vulnerable.
The hardest part is over. And what lays ahead is a better you and lots of opportunities to redefine and live your truths.
You are not a daddy’s little princess, you’re more. You’re a grown ass independent woman that loves right, loves hard and has learned to forgive and leave the past behind.
