Forgive him; he’s hurting

Every relationship is different but, here’s what I know: my dad is terrified of being alone. He’ll put up with anything (including a gold digger) to have companionship. And he’s terrified of being alone because, he had a rough childhood. Like they say, “Hurt people hurt people.” My dad was hurt, and now as a result, he is doing some things that hurt me. It’s not perfect. It’s not exactly good. But, that’s also what it means to be human and I can’t fault him for that.
