my father proud myself paragraph
Answers
Answer:
Many call him rich but I call him dad. He is the man who has taught me to be the person I am today. My dad has been there for me every day since I was born, and what my family and I have put him through I probably would have gone crazy a long time ago. My dad is literally the only man in our house. It is my dad, my mom, my older sister Olivia, me, and my younger sister Aliza. Even my dog is a girl, even my litter sister’s fish is a girl. I don’t know how he does it, I really don’t. But the thing is he deals with all of us girls every day and he still is one of the most kind hearted men I know. My dad is the nicest man not just to me but to everyone he knows. He always treats others the way he wants to be treated. We live in a neighborhood…
Most of us desire for our parents to accept us. One form of acceptance is their pride in our achievements and accomplishments. For some of us, life worked out well and we quickly earn their pride. However, for some of us, life did not work out well and earning someones pride feels near impossible. That does not mean you cannot earn their acceptance.
Acceptance does not mean agreement. Nor does it imply that your choices were appropriate. Only you know the deep challenge of your choices. Moreover, acceptance means that no matter your choices and challenges in life, your father accepts that you are who you are. Even if they don’t understand.
This is where you come in. If you want acceptance, give acceptance. Accept your father’s challenge of trying to understand why his child made choices he is not able to understand. Tell him you accept him even if he cannot understand you. Ask for his acceptance on the same terms.
Continue by getting to know your father differently than you have before. Most children see just a parent. Try seeing a man, a friend, a soul needing understanding. He will appreciate your effort and return it by trying to understand the person that is his child. A child that he cares for deeply and may not know how to express that caring well enough.
Fair warning. Acceptance may take time. The road to acceptance is sometimes hard and painful. I promise you, the road is worth traveling. You are worth being accepted. Your father is worth knowing better. Even if life has been very tough.
As a parent, it took me far too long to look at my children as someone other than the people I wanted to protect and to prepare for life. The drive to do so is compelling. Once I started to look at them as more than my children, my understanding of them grew and our relationship grew. It is a beautiful thing.
Hope this helps and take best of care!
