A Positive Thing A Family Member Has Done For Me

Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

One positive thing a family member has done for me. When I was a teenager and my father found out what my mother was doing to me. Everything changed. He began by telling my mother that he wanted me to eat what he was eating and me sitting with him while he ate.

Mind you at this point all my siblings were grown up and we’re out of the house. My father would take me to school every morning, and when I didn’t have school he would take me to work with him. He painted vehicles and had his own shop in the back of a car dealership.

From that point on he supported me through thick and thin. I was still drinking like a fish, and began doing drugs to deal with all the pain of what my mother had done.

I think after he became aware of the abuse I had gone through. My father stopped drinking so much alcohol. And came to do what he should do and support his daughter. He never left my mother, he just began spending time with him. And I would not be who I today without his persistence in supporting me and living me.

After I got married my father began having some issues and my mother died at age 59. I began taking care of him. And we became closer in our father-daughter relationship. It was very powerful knowing my in a truly loving way. After most of the childhood I was no taken care of like I should have. I learned so many things from him, this was a huge blessing to get to know my father in a deep relationship with him.
