Unconditional Love

QuickCode : 0521

My father disowned me when I was 13, after I was caught shoplifting. I know it was a stupid thing to do, and is something I still regret. I am now 25 and still don't know how to forgive myself and him for not loving me unconditionally. I think it is effecting my life now because I am scared to love someone in case they throw me/it away. I mean, if my own father couldn't love me, who will? He's been dead 8 years now and I still can't forget what he did.

forgive yourself and your dad. he was angry with his own failures as a parent. Parents expect perfection and when they don't get it, the kids get the anger end of it but the parents are engulfed in thier own guilt and failure. live in the now. let the past be what it WAS. lsh
