I imagine that the pain of realizing how wrong he was for so many, many years is too much for him to come to terms with. You're right, he may never see it. It's too bad, because he needs to, for your sake.

I remember when I first confessed to myself that David Berg was not a prophet of God and the Law of Love didn't work, my emotional world really fell apart. That was the hardest thing I had to do, then I had to admit that I had spent the most important years of my life living a lie. Plus, my whole foundation I had built was completely ripped out from under me. I had no idea how to make a decision, no idea what to believe, it was just awful. You father may not have the courage to face this upheaval in his life.

He may also be in denial because he doesn't want to take the responsibility of how he hurt you. That's pretty low. This is how my ex is with his children. He gave one of those weak F. apologies and then expected everyone to just jump back in his bandwagon. When that didn't happen, he got all hurt and offended. Then he made a statement that he had made his peace with God and had no more remorse. Can you imagine? As if his children didn't count. None of them talk to him anymore.

I know it's hard for you to be faced with this day to day. Come here and vent at us anytime you want. You need to be heard.
