Blame

It's not always about blame even though you always believed it was.

It's resentment.

When you have one job, one purpose and you fail... I do not blame you for turning a blind eye to the hurt I suffered or just being ignorant. No I do not blame you.

I resent you! I resent that you never saw the pain and sorrow in my eyes.

I don't blame you, because I realize that you also had your own fucked up demons to battle with.

The difference here is, I am dealing with mine.

My children will not blame me, or resent me. My job is to protect them, and I will.

My children will thrive not just survive their childhood.
