For she longed for her father’s love and attention. He doesn’t realize the choice he made out of being selfish affected her. She yearns to have her daddy back, the father she always knew— not the stranger he’s become. For she longs for her father’s attention. For she destroys her room when something small sets her off. For she’s crying out for help and no one hears her. Why can’t he see her? Why can’t he hear her? She’s standing right in front of him… Daddy’s little girl. What happened? Does he not love me? Was I too much for him to stay? I’m still a little girl to him, and I just want him to see how I’m suffering. Everything has changed. Not one moment, not one interaction will ever be the same. I’m numb inside. I’m hurt, I’m angry, and I stay in fight or flight mode. Mother tries her best, but often times it isn’t enough. A little girl needs her Daddy. No matter how old, she needs him. A little girl wants her Daddy to set a good example of how she should be treated. If he treated mother that way – then I guess it’s okay for his daughter to get treated the same way. For why did father let temptation destroy everything we had?— a family. We were a tight-knit unit, what happened? For he no longer looks for me— he just buys my love. Father, I just want you to see me for me, just like you used to. Everything is flipped upside down with no hope to ever change to what it once was. Your little girl is not so little, and you’re missing out on milestones. Time that you can never get back. Times of the essence. Choices have consequences, and you chose temptation over your family. Where do your priorities lie? Daddy’s little girl is gone.
