Felt Disappointed?

I think there have been a lot of times within my life where someone has disappointed me, or even had let me down. I think what disappoints me the most though is when someone withholds something from me, or they lie to my face. And then I find out later or I can tell right there on the spot that they are lying directly to my face. I think there's nothing more then hurtful then having someone do this to you, especially when they do it right in-front of you.. I know that I have been let down countless times by my father since I was a kid. There has been times where he has come down to visit us. And then we will get all ready for him or save up money so we can do things with him for when he comes down.. And then he will just stand us up & not even call to inform us that he is not coming. He has made up so many various excuses to try to cover up his lies that after a while it's difficult to have faith in him at all. I know last year he was supposed to come down to visit us.. And he ended up saying he was coming down that Saturday & never ended up even calling us so I called his house.. And he ended up answering & making up excuses. And I couldn't help but cry, but also feel disappointed. How I have dealt with having to go through these situations with him all of my life is.. Just to lose all contact with him. It honestly is the best decision to make especially since the only words that come from his mouth are lies. And I dislike having people within my life who always find the need to lie. I think by making this decision it has helped to save me from a lot of stress, as well as emotional scarring. I've learned that if a father isn't willing to make time for his own children.. Then he isn't worth associating with in the first place. I've also found this a learning experience because I know now if I was to have children down the road.. That I would never do the same thing my father had done to me throughout my childhood. I've learned from going through such a difficult time in my life that you only should involve yourself with people who are positive. And people who will be honest with you & support you & not go ahead & stab you in the back. I am some-what glad that I have had to go through an experience that was so disappointing because it taught me a lot about the type of person I want to be.. And what type of people I want to associate with in the end. In conclusion from having to go through a situation such as this one.. That I believe that things happen for a reason & I also believe that something better will happen soon for a person in the future. We all go through trials in our life that are unbearable at one point in time, or disappointing.. But in my opinion it's how you get back up on your feet that matters & what you learn from a disappointing situation that matters the most in the end! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx
