I'm sorry because I never

I always dreamed of being close to my dad or even hear a small compliment from him, because of it I was blinded by reaching to his expectations than reaching to things that I truly wanted. Well, I wanted him to be proud of me. Is it that bad to wish for something simple? I guess it was because it caused me to look at the bad side of the things and I wasn’t able to know who I really am because I was busy being someone that I wasn’t. I was busy being the perfect daughter that my dad wanted.

Ridiculous! “I did not wish for the best father. All I wanted was, to have a little attention from you since I didn’t get it from Mom. Anyway, it’s too late for that. You can still find a new wife and a new step-daughter to shoot a perfect family photo and a perfectly functional family you wished you had.”

But Andy, she might actually ask me to choose, though she wouldn't like the outcome if she for one minute thinks I would choose her. "Why do you have to be so nice to everyone? I know that Maeva's never done anything to me but I just hate how she's always been so perfect. I just don't get it. It's like she can't ever let anyone be better at anything. You know, I swear if my dad had a choice he would choose to have her as a daughter over me." She said & I gave her a curious glance.

And my parents loved her already because I could see it. The way they looked at her. Also, the way they touched her gently and carefully. I could bet that they'd never looked at me like that. "You don't want me anymore." I said quietly. "You want her. She must be the perfect daughter you always wished I could be." "That's not true." My father said. But I didn't believe him. "Just admit it. You're relieved now about all of these. Relieved you don't have to deal with me anymore and maybe also relieved I'm not actually your responsibility."

"I spent so long wanting you to be. That's the thing nobody tells you about having a parent who isn't really there…. you don't stop wanting them. You just get better at pretending you have." I felt something move through my chest. I let it move through and kept talking. "I wanted a mother. That's all I ever wanted from you. Not money or advice or connections or anything complicated. Just…. to be someone's daughter. Properly. The way other people seemed to be." Lydia's eyes were wet.

" So you aren’t doing this for business advertising or… rich people stuff?" " Sort of. But bringing them all out was my own selfish idea." " Oh." I nodded slowly. My throat tightened unexpectedly. " It is indeed a terrible idea. But you can fix it, can’t you? Treat them like your parents. I’m sure your mother raised you to be the daughter she dreamed of. There are so many women here without their children. And you no longer have your mother-in-law controlling you. Maybe this is the best time to do what you want." I said quietly,

“Then why come now? Why not six years ago when everything first fell apart?” “Because six years ago I was still trying to be the perfect daughter,” I said honestly, letting a little vulnerability slip into my voice. “I was still trying to make my father proud. Now I’m trying to be something else. Something better. Or at least… something that doesn’t destroy people I used to care about.” She leaned back further, arms still crossed. “And what does ‘better’ look like to you, Elaine?” I smiled again, softer this time. “Helping stop my father before he destroys more lives. Including yours. Including your children’s.”

Where the hell was this coming from? "Baby do you think I can be that person? I would never rape a woman or willingly let someone else to do that. My father's world is so fucked up and yes so, many things happened with him growing up but I never enjoyed it, never wanted to be that way, never even crossed my mind to be that vile of a person. I distance myself to all of it as much as I can and I promise not only am I not that person but our life will never know any of that existed one day. Our kids will grow up with the I love you notes in their lunches and a tree full of gifts every Christmas. We will have the perfect life you make fun of so much but secretly want because we will build it tog
