Richard is my dad, yes it is true I havent been a part of his life. His choice not mine. It has always been his choice to not be a part of my life since I was a small child. He would always come in and out of my life when it was convient for him or he wanted to be a dotting dad because he had a new girlfriend/wife. I spent years in counseling because my heart was broken because my dad didn't want me. I found peace with it in my early 20's, had a decent relationship with him and his ex wife pushed me away. Again made peace with it and in my 30's formed a relationship that was going great and then like every other time he found an excuse to abandon me.....this time it was because of his ministries and me not being godly enough. Now even death he has found a way to hurt me. If not adding me to the obit was to protect me somehow I unlike my father don't run from my responsibilities!!!!!!
A good friend of mine was actually a very good friend of his for many years and she had no idea he had a daughter.
So too all of you Richard Bensley has 2 biological daughters myself and my half sistwr Alicia. Richard also has 3 biological granddaughters that are beautiful, smart, funny, and very accomplished, he has 1 biological grandson that is a very happy silly toddler, and 1 great grandson that is absolutely incredible and will achieve great things. He was also preceeded in death by another granddaughter that passed shortly after birth in 2015.
