I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control at times and hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you don&#039;t deserve me at my best.<br /> - Marilyn Monroe

You hurt me. You broke my heart. You made me feel useless like I am unimportant. I still love you though because of the times you made me smile when I was younger. I still need my daddy, but I don't want the one that's an alcoholic. I want the one that is going to follow Christ. Is that you? Because I still love you....

I wrote this because my dad is an alcoholic. I use to be his little girl, and I miss it. I feel hurt and abandoned then Jesus Christ rescues me.

This shows the honest truth. But stay strong. A lot of people foster hatred in their hearts when this happens, be strong and love always.

It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'EVERY knee will bow before me; EVERY tongue will confess to God.'"
