Mahdi this is so heartbreaking and so honest and raw. I understand how you feel since I haven’t talked to my dad in four years now. Sometimes people aren’t up to standard but we have to stand up for ourselves 💗 much love

I remember your beautiful piece on that, dear Gala. Even though we have almost never seen eye to eye, as I've grown older I have come to appreciate him as a person, with all that is vastly different between the two of us. I recently had a revelation that when I pick fights with my father in my head, I'm picking fights with myself, I'm challenging my own self through the vessel of him. There needs to be some kind of a reconciliation between us and our parents for us to move forward, in whatever shape or form that may be.

Lots of love to you Gala. Thank you for being here.

I agree so much with your words. Sadly, some people don't even want a reconciliation and we have to move forward without an apology, without an explanation or a nice goodbye, but a reconciliation is always so much better, I have experienced that with others and it's so healing ❤️
