    forgiving my mother was one of hardest things i ever did, freed me from so much hate in my heart, even harder than quitting drugs, yet i still keep her at an arms length, leaving me as a little boy with my crazy dad, she never wanted me or loved me, and wanted me to be aborted, which both my parents even her told me, led me down a dark path, but through Jesus i found things change and was set free from so much hate, and anger and self hatred and self destruction

    @TheRealNighthawkBaby, I feel for what you went through & relate to not being loved & cherished... the rejection wound goes deep; but thank God for Jesus Christ; He loves us intimately & went through rejection & abandonement for our sakes. Wishing you love, strength & blessings in Christs name brother. 🙏

    My story is the other way around. My dad physically and mentally abused me. At age 17 I moved out and never seen him again. It has only been a few years since I was saved by Christ ❤. I learned to forgive him, but the memories remain. And like you Cait, I learned that I have a heavenly father 🙏. It was that realisation that made me follow Christ.

    This is so amazing to me. I have three children aged 18 to 22. After a horrifying divorce 12 years ago my ex wife has done everything she can to alienate me from them. I have almost no contact with them for the past several years. I have tried everything and I wish that my children would want me to be in their lives as you wanted your father in your life. Incidentally, I was adopted as an infant. I met my birth mother at age 36. In have never met my father as he had passed away six months earlier.

    Wow. Just wow. I wrote my father a letter a few years ago, and he did not respond. I saw that he read it. I tried numerous times over the years, but he was unwilling. I prayed to my Heavenly Father about it, so now the ball is in my earthly father’s court. I’m 35, and very open to a relationship with him.

    I am truly in awe of your testimony... not because I'm surprised by God's love because I know Him so very well. I can't put my finger on it, but I know that somehow the Holy Spirit in you is ministering to me in a way that is filling up my soul. God knew I needed to discover this fellowship. My story is not the same as yours but Romans 8:28 has always been one of my favorite scriptures and I see it play out in my life. Thank you for sharing our Father in such a loving and impactful way. You will be in my prayers, my sister. God made you wonderfully to build up His Kingdom!

    I’m 41 and was never told that I am adopted. However I knew by how I was treated differently to my siblings. I was hated and not wanted, abused and neglected. Yet, even though I know from getting my birth certificate, the Lord will not let me ask family yet. So I am being patient as much as I can but it hurts. I understand that the salvation of my family is more important to me than me making them feel uncomfortable and prying. I want Jesus to intervene and speak to them somehow but I long to be mothered and fathered. I’m glad you have your relationship restored. Praise Jesus!

    If it can be of any comfort, my closest relatives treated me like that how you described compared to my siblings, and I wondered if I had been adopted at times since I did not feel I fit in at times, or that they did not care for me in the same way or treated me differently, basically treated me as if I was dumb. I went through most of my childhood feeling that.

    This message was extremely powerful to me. Not because I have a father wound, but because of how the Father has worked in your life. You speak from the heart, with love, through the Holy Spirit. I have faith that you are 100% correct in knowing that your journey on this earth, through pain, suffering and sorrow brought you to our Father. In turn, allowing you to reap God’s grace in heaps with your earthly father. I pray the Lord tills the soil, opens your dads heart so his roots plant deep…knowing the way, the truth and the life. Your dad is in my prayers, as are you Cait. What a blessing you are…spreading our Father’s love and message of forgiveness, which is so needed in this chaotic world of ours. God Bless you, over and over.

    At 20 years old, I had the same experience with my father whom I had never known because my parents divorced when I was 2 years old, so your experience seems completely logical to me. I lived in France and I thought he lived in Greece, because I didn't have an email address and I didn't even know if he was dead or alive. So I took the train from Paris to Thessaloniki, a two-day trip, without knowing if I would find him. After a week in a small hotel, looking for traces of his family whose name is quite common in the region, I found myself at a family tea time where the 50-year-old husband had the same name as my father -- but he was not my father... Finally I arrive at the International Red Cross which, after three days of searching, discovers where my Dad lives, not far from there. The rest is history. God bless.

    I have a dad, he was physically present on weekends, but often never got birthday gift and never got Xmas gifts. I was not celebrated nor encouraged to do well in sports or school from either parent. My wounds runs deep, I know the source of my anger issues come from those critical times of development that were neglected. God in His mercy has saved me and is slowly changing me. My prayer is that I’m fully delivered from my anger issues and pain, the season of waiting is brutal.

    Hi Cait. What a wonderful story. I listened to all three. There is defo a strong healing anointing on this one in particular. Bless you for having the courage to share your story so publicly. Something someone said to me recently that has stuck with me, “The very thing you’ve battled in life will be an indication of what you are called to”. Continue to speak the words of forgiveness and reconciliation. Fatherlessness is a massive thing especially in Western society. Keep speaking your truth and the Holy Spirit will bring the change and healing needed in those listening.

    @@CaitTaylor my sister in Christ ,plz consider this at first🙏🏻 especially when preaching/say The Word Of God🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 “19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:12-14 Glorify God in Your Body 12 "I have the right to do anything," you say-but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"-but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 You say, "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both." The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.” The Consequences of Sexual Immorality Yes, sexual sin destroys. Claim the help of the Holy Spirit to flee from it, to shun it. You can’t play with fire without being burned. It is difficult to go right up to the line without stepping over it. Those lingering lunches with someone other than your husband or your wife can begin to set a chain of events into motion for destruction. Pray about how you act, how you dress, the signals you send and the signals you receive. Dedicate yourself to God in a way in which you claim His wisdom and sensitivity to that which would hurt another and hurt yourself and definitely you are hurting Jesus in first Place! you literally make him suffer again and again and everyone who is wearing such this is the most sinning part🙏🏻

    I have a similar experience where I left my daughter at a very early age although we've been in touch and done many things we seem to have grown distant as she is approaching 21 years old. A lot of people say she will come back to me and I am anxiously awaiting the day that we can move forward and rekindle our father-daughter relationship I love her so much and miss her every day and think of her. But the devil also points to me as the failure the one that messed it all up but I have to pray every day for God just to make things right. I pray that God fills her heart with curiosity and love and most of all forgiveness and gives her the want to call and say I want to know you Dad my arms are wide open and my heart is pounding for the day when she wants to come home at least in my heart. Thank you for the beautiful video You're a gorgeous woman will the great story and I am glad to hear that You found Jesus and he has restored your relationship with your father. I'm hoping he does that with me and my daughter soon everyday is like an eternity waiting for the day.

    I didn't meet my father until I was 18 turning 19. I always wondered who could do this to someone, abandon their own? I wouldnt wish fatherlessness on my worst enemy. I had to learn manhood the hard way. Nobody to play catch with me, or do father son stuff with. All i knew was that I wanted to be the man he never was. He was everything wrong with the world. And when I first called him I was gonna let him have it. Tell him how weak and pathetic he was. But when I heared him by the grace of the Lord I could only respond with forgiveness. I never chewed him out. In a lot of ways I still look down on him. Not for no reason. But I just pray that he gets to know the lord so he can actually understand what it is to be a father. I'm 27 now, I've been there and you arent the only one whos been through this. Anyway I'm glad you've found the healing. Blessings

    My mother was stricken with cancer 6 months after my parents divorce. She had cancer in her uterus and nearly died. She moved home with her parents in her late 30's. I think she had gone thru something similar. She was going to church with some of her old friends from highschool, she met her old neighbor after years who used to walk her to school. He was divorced and over coming addictions , they ended up getting married and her cancer never came back, I baptized her myself during covid 19 restrictions.

I only got close to him the last year of his life, as i ministered to him as he was dying. I am glad i was able to serve him that way.

    Even angels (not fallen angels) must have had their difficult times too, before arising with so much depth, so much understanding and so much compassion beyond imagination! That is what comes to my mind when I hear you talking to us. I cannot help myself, but I am still crying! How can so much hurt and pure refined beauty and maturity emanating from the depth of one’s soul be so tight aligned together like the other side of the same coin? I had and still have the best loving parents in the world one can imagine and a very beautiful and well cared childhood (of course, there where difficulties in my childhood too, but not the way you went through, and I really feel so sorry for what you've gone through…). But the way you talk about your childhood and now encounter with your dad, as portrayed in this video, with so much love, earnest, truth, understanding, consideration, compassion, warmth and forgiveness, makes me relive it too, as a shared experience that now further connects all of us humans together, that becomes part of all our souls too and help us grow together, elevating us and thus helping us to become better prepared to fulfil our divine purposes. These are very special times we are living in, where darkness has become so dark, but at the other side, the light is shining now so bright for all of those that turn their heart and faces to God, bringing possibilities of growth in our lives like never before. Thank you so much for letting us participate in your story and for sharing the wisdom you earned through your experiences by being so faithful to God! Yes, you are the angel I am talking about!

    It is so refreshing to hear from a woman who is so deep in her faith walk, especially someone around my age (I'm 22) who also grew up in a single-parent household. I relate so much! At 12:12, I think it's totally okay that you didn't FaceTime him or see his face right away so that your first meeting could be special. ❤ When I was 13, I started asking questions about my dad, and my mom had many meetings with him to vet him out (to make sure he would stick around and be a good human being) before introducing us. Sometimes, in the church community, the Enemy lies to me, saying I do not belong because I didn't grow up with two parents, the siblings, the dog, etc. But that is so, so far from the truth. 🙏🏻

    I was kicked out of the house by my mother and stepfather when I was 17 years old, I've always worked since I was 15 years old, I studied and I didn't have any problems with addictions, and all this after I worked for a year to build the house. After that I converted to the Gospel, followed Jesus and was reconciled with both.

    U can, some people that may be confused by the simple, plain as day kind of things, refrains from crossing barriers with all respect. No matter how bad they want it too. Fear of rejection or accidently causes hurt by what was good intention, in fact, didn't end by the same expectation or high hopes and plans of good.

    Dads instill identity, which is why you struggle(d) with identity. And your dad rejected your mom and by proxy you prb felt rejected too. But good to hear your wounds are healing.

    I can attest I dont have that with my dad, he was a harsh disciplinarian in the home. We understand the purpose as adults. And while he has softened in his old age, he is not ever one where we will have emotionally intimate or vulnerable conversations. That upbringing will not allow us to see that kind of relationship. This is a great testimony and I hope that he is saved, if he has not made that decision as it is what really matters.

    Thank-you for sharing this. I really wonder if the night owl thing has any relation to trauma because I too am a night owl and have desired to not be in a sense but alas.... in some ways I find the evening peaceful because there are less distractions and the world is calm down/sleeping/more quiet... I have many reflections on this and hypothesis but all the while I still find it challenging to get to bed early, consistently! :) It's hard though when you're a night owl, who also desires to be up early! haha

    So, quickly, while I’m thinking about it, I can see some commonalities between you and I, even though we come from completely different world and different situations but innocent, I can relate, as I’ve been a non-custodial dad for the last 14 years or so one of the hardest things, in the past, was hearing my children, called their stepdad. Dad, when I was, in fact, their dad. And it was, and can be, difficult to go visit them, and their mom and stepdad, and see all the things that have my stamp and fingerprint on it stuff that Was a part of my life 14, 1516 years and now is incorporated into their household, and not into mine. And, it was not who left, it was my wife, who separated and divorced me. And the thing is, it seems that bitterness, resentment, sadness can cause exist with love and compassion in some weird way. I guess for me, I don’t feel like the loosen have been tied up yet. Probably, for her to apologize to me, to understand what all that did to me, Even to give me a hug, that would mean so much to me! And you need to understand, there are no romantic feelings at all whatsoever, I’m past that. But, to my point, I guess, being in someone else’s household, that in someway should be your household,feels weird. Feels like you’re a part of a Multiverse, and you are in the wrong universe. Anyways, I appreciate your videos! I will be watching the rest of them!

    Wow "feels like you’re a part of a multiverse, and you are in the wrong universe" resonates with me. I'm sorry you have experienced the same feeling of not quite fitting into a life that you feel should be yours. One thing that helped me was a quote I heard "Don't look for healing at the feet of those who broke you". We want the person who wronged us to make things right. Often they don't, and even if they tried - they couldn't. I believe the only true healing is found at the feet of Jesus. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3), and He also takes care of fair judgement and justice, so that we don't have to. "Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the LORD. Instead, “If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good" (Romans 12:19-21) Praying healing for you & God's comfort throughout the journey 🙏🏼

    These issues are basically demons that come in thru severe trauma, neglect and abuse. My dad molested me at 4 & then left the family. No relationship. All my life I had deep depression, anxiety and anger. At times I could not work and relationships with men were a disaster. It was the Lord who delivered me from mental illness. Complete healing of mental health.
