Veronica Lindström's father has a new family |
I grew up with my father and mother and I lived together with them until I was 23 years old. When I was 13 years old, I realized that something changed. My father stopped care about my mother and I guess he stopped care about me too.
During my teenage years, my father was the dominant in our family and he controlled my life choices. I was very frightened of him because he was always shouting and screaming. For long times I was also very scared of men and I didn't have any good self esteem. When I was 23 years old, my father divorced from my mother and he got a new family. First I thought that I was welcome in his new family and I tried to stay in contact, but after many years of trying, I realized that he had divorced from me too. Today I am 45 years old and I live in the same city as my father but I do not want to have any contact with him. He does not care about me or how I am doing. All his time he spends with his new family. His new wife has two children and they now have three parents; their mother, their father and my father. Those two children do not have any understanding of my situation, so that is why I do not want to have any contact with them.
I have no sisters and no brothers, no children of my own, but I have a boyfriend and my mother that I love very much.
