There was a great strain in our family because my father didn't want anything to do with me. He was happy to see my brother and sister, but not me. I don't know why. Maybe it was shame. I don't know. But he never wanted anything to do with me. That rejection was terribly hurtful and it went on for years. ↗

Shame, shame, shame. How many times have I told you not to be frightened? Have I not told you God looks after all his children? ↗
