There goes a girl named Vanessa who felt she was cruelty treated all in the name of parenting and good upbringing.
As the first child of her father, Vanessa was a child that was preparing for her journey to the higher institution when she began to perceive this assumed “hatred” from her father.
Her dad barely handled her softly. It was mostly fiercely or insults followed. Her major crime was that she loved sleep a lot and most times she lays her head to sleep, her dad comes with a whip to make her awake and attentive. "Go and read your book" He would always say, as Vanessa would sluggishly get up from her bed to face her book. But whenever she did this, her dad calls her unprintable names which obviously made her feel unloved.
Vanessa didn't just have a rift with her dad on her sleeping attitude, but as well as cooking.
Each time it was time for breakfast/lunch/dinner, he would authoritatively demand his meal as the head of the family and sometimes opt to hitting her in place of insults. This act, I must triggered Vanessa's hatred and unforgiveness towards her father.
As Vanessa began to develop into an adult, which practically meant that she was not under the watch of a "cruel eye", she began to distance herself from her dad.
Indeed! His actions had left indelible prints in her heart and memory to the extent that she cannot stand his sight.
With her dad realizing the unknown outcome of his actions, he tried all his best to change his all his best to rebuild the father-daughter relationship but it was late by this time and he began to regret his hostility and harshness towards his girl child.
There are times he calls her on phone and she refuses to pick his calls. He even goes as far as trying to visit her at her apartment but she refuses by giving one excuse or the other.
Vanessa is broken, but would she reconsider/forgive her dad and try to reestablish that father-daughter relationship?
