    After my father’s death by suicide, my mother, my siblings and I received a heavy amount of backlash from my father’s side of the family; it was easier for them to find a scapegoat instead of trying to understand the complexity of the situation. Unfortunately, with their consistent criticism, I began to believe what they were saying. The loss of my father finally weighed in a few months after his death. I accepted that we could have easily prevented his death if we just communicated more, however, we were all distracted in our own individual lives. I would lock myself in my room to watch old home VCR videos continuously for weeks in hopes to understand my dad’s life perspective better.…

    After a week had passed since my step daddy’s arrest, he and I still hadn’t found any meaningful work yet. And instead of looking for work like I had done every day so far, my step daddy just spent most of his day on the couch drinking beers purchased with what little money we had left in savings. Money which I’m sure was already earmarked for keeping the lights on or the water flowing. As he self-loathed while getting drunk, he would sulk to anyone who would lend him a sympathetic ear and gripe about how crummy his life was and how the world conspired against him. I thought it was really quite pathetic to watch a grown man act that way.…

    Becoming a father was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. It is such a special feeling living for someone else and not just yourself, knowing that your sole duties in life are now to love, provide, teach, mentor, and discipline. I always hear people say “ Im don 't think I 'm ready to be a parent.” and to be honest, I do not think anyone is ready to be a parent. I can still remember like it was yesterday the day my son was born.…

    Losing my father at a young age did not only take a toll on me, but my 3 siblings as well. Death can sometimes break a family apart, but for mine it did the opposite. A person will not understand how tough losing a parent is until it is experienced. Then again, no one knows the joy of gaining a parent either.

    Growing Up in a Broken Home and What it Has Taught Me Growing up I had typical childhood experiences, but unlike some of you I grew up in a broken home. Many people would say I got the short end of the stick; however, I believe it has in some ways made me a better person. It was not because of the broken home, tons of other people grew up that way, it was the completely opposite lifestyles I observed in both homes that changed me. It has taught me many life lessons, including the fact that a man does not have to be your father to be a dad.…
