The love of a father is an uncommon gem, to be hunted, burnished, and hoarded. The value goes up because of it scarcity.

While feminist, thinking, enabled me to reach beyond the boundaries set by patriarchy, it was the search for wholeness, for self recovery, that let me back to my dad.

My reconciliation with my father began with my recognition that I wanted, and needed his love, and that if I could not have his love, then at least I needed to heal the wound in my heart his violence had created.
