I'm watching a interview with Ryan O'Neil.. a likeable man yet a man so unconnected to his daughter with no sense of understanding for what his actions have set into motion for others. Infatuated with Farrah and full of dedication for her, he misses the life sitting in front of him. The sin that crippled the entire family continues on in his oblivious resolve to not face his past and the price his kids pay for it. He doesn't even know how old his grandson is and has only seen him 3 times!
Reminds me of my relationship with my father. While I have dealt with it I think to the best of my ability it boggles my mind that a man can be so detached from reality and his kids... wow...
He sees dealing with the past as abusive... funny.. funny how we can twist things we don't want to face.
My family is still torn. A huge fracture goes directly through my family. My brother has such hate for my mom.. for her sin... yet he swims in the pool of lies my father has created and sees nothing wrong.... funny
Course we all see things differently! We see through our own lenses. I guess one day when we see it through God's eyes we shall finally see the truth. Meanwhile we continue to limp and crawl through life.. bandaged and broken. Trying the best we can. Truth hurts!
