Family

Have you ever felt that people are better off without you?

I like so many of you.. Grew up in a dysfunctional family environment.

The values of family were destroyed for me.

I’ve always felt like a lone wolf.

I spent the last 20 years working my guts out, trying to build the life that was taken away from me.

Turns out, I’ve achieved so many of my goals & dreams.

But the one thing that always been hard for me is family.

I have always felt as though people are better off without me, that I’m not worthy of a loving family. That I’m a broken, burden..

But I feel different these days. I feel as though I’ve built a back my life. I feel as though I’m a worthy dad to my daughter & boyfriend to my partner Marie & role model to her son.

It’s not been easy, I’ve battled anxieties & made a lot of mistakes along the way. But I’ve made it.

If family is an achievement, I’ve unlocked it.. Finally..

I have a family that I’m thankful for & very proud of♥️

If you feel like you struggle with feeling like you don’t deserve a family, think again. Every human being deserves companionship.

Even me.. Even you.
