Where to begin. I know this answer may be too late and you may already be feeling better, but here goes.
I know what you're saying. My parents divorced when I was 9. I too went through a time when I felt like it was my fault. The truth is, I loved both of my parents so much that I didn't want to blame or be angry at either one of them. But I learned as you will that they made a decision. Maybe out of selfishness, maybe out of pain, nonetheless, it was their decision. You are not at fault.
It's great that you have a good relationship with your dad. My dad and I hardly ever got to see each other. My dad was and to some degree still is unconcerned with my life. My dad didn't come to my wedding or my college graduation. All my life I grew up and developed a lot of bitterness in my heart. God dealt with me about that and I learned that I have to honor my father because he's my father, even if I was hurt by him.
It is hard to say goodbye, even if it is for a short time. I hope that you and your father are believers. If you are, then you can spend eternity together worshipping our Great God.
Finally, let me try to encourage you. The Bible says that God is a Father to the fatherless. I'm not saying that your fatherless (obviously, you're not), but I am saying that you must find your rest and peace in God. Even though your daddy isn't there physically, God is watching over both of you. If something were to happen to one or the other of you, His grace would be sufficient. Enjoy the good times and permanently embed them into your memory. Then, trust God because He knows what's best for you.

I can't say I know what it's like to be a young person struggling with such load to bear -- I don't. But I do know the Lord wants to help you through it. Here is a link to down load various versions of the bible: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) Once downloaded, you only have to type in a word like comfort or encouragement and it will bring up every passage in the bible that talks about those things. I know the Word will get you through. I'll pray for you. [ mylordwon's advice column | Ask mylordwon A Question ]

craZlilchelC152 answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 7:32 pm: I know exactly what your talking about. Unfortionately though I don*t see my dad anymore but every 4-5 years for a day!! it*s really hard and reading that almost made me cry, but i*m an emotional kid.. anyway enuff about me. I will pray for you because i know what your going through, i*m adopted as well!! But just remind yourself he*s fine and that you will see him again, maybe see if you can visit him on a holiday or if he can come visit you!! I can*t say i know of any versus but i can promise you, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Just give him a huge hug, tell him you love him and you*ll miss him and try talking every weekend. Me and my dad used to do that and every sunday we would take turns calling eachother. I hope i helped sweetie and have a safe trip!! xoxo, chelsea
HectorJr answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 6:47 pm: Try reading the book: A Child Called "It", By Dave Pelzer. It's part of a trilogy, and you might want to read the other two books as well. Hopefully you'll find the inspiration you might need. Good luck. [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]
