"Daddy's Girl" & What I Missed.....

Having an 8 year old little girl, who just so happens to be a "Daddy's Girl", I've downloaded quite a few songs that represent just that. I'm not quite sure why this particular song gets to me the way it does, but.....

My relationship with my "Dad" just wasn't anything close to that & I sometimes think why wasn't I good enough? I'm 39 now & only just found out about 1 1/2 years ago that an incident that happened when I was somewhere between the ages of 9 & 12 was actually molestation. I knew when it happened that it wasn't right & it made me uncomfortable. After that incident I don't believe I ever hugged or kissed my "Dad" again. When I look at my daughter & my husband now, I realize how much I missed & I'm envious of my daughter because of the relationship she has with her Daddy.

When my daughter started Kindergarten, we were having some problems with behavioral issues (mainly because of what she had been exposed to with my Mom) & we were referred to a therapist. That is when I found out that what my "Dad" had done to me was molestation. To the best of my knowledge it only happened once, but it was once too many!!! I grew up from that point on with my "Dad" calling me an F-ing whore or slut almost daily until the time that I moved out of my parents house at 19. My "Dad" passed away 10 years ago this past August 22. I never got to tell him the damage he had done, I hope he knows now.....
