Lonely

People have always told me that things get better with time. That if I try my best to move on then it will be easier. But it doesn't.
I have been fighting my feeling about my father for 14 years but I still struggle daily. A person in my university lecture asked me about my opinion of absent fathers and parental rights. They said that they believe parents should have parental rights to a child even if they have chosen to not be in their lives. I found it so difficult to not scream at him. Why should someone who has abandoned their child by choice and who has caused so much pain be allowed to have ANY rights to that child? In my opinion the day you walk out of your child life is the day that you lose any rights to them.

Odd things like that cause me to think about my dad. I also worry about how I will feel towards the father of my children in the future. I don't want to be constantly waiting around for him to mess up or leave. I don't know how sharing a parenting responsibility works. basically, I am just terrified.
