wow that was very well written. It's almost as if you were talking about me. I too don't blame her for leaving , i was damaging them subconsciously. You see when i was a child i was neglected and was never shown love and never given the affection i wanted. Now that i am an adult , i have started doing the same thing to my wife and unfortunately i have also affected both of my daughters. This is the main reason she left, because i wasnt spending time with my daughters. After i got help from my counselor my eyes started opening and really seeing who i had become. I had become my mother and i wasnt giving my daughters and wife the affection they needed. I would alwasy get home from work , sit in the couch or be on my phone.Pathetic. Now i am paying the consequences. Now i am about to get divorced. My family is about to be split in 2.
