I totally identify....it was my mother who did that to me. I am so glad you shared, it definitely is a wonderful way of healing and you have become an amazing person because of it.

The most memorable quote from the movie Parenthood that has stuck with me over the years:
"You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming ******* be a father."
You can replace mother with father and it still rings true. In my case it was father.
In the end, it's what we choose to become in life, either because of or in spite of our upbringing.

Sad story. I will read all parts of it, with the hope it has a happy ending.

I am so sorry for you and all children who suffer at the hands of their parents in what ever manner.

I regret that happened to you, and to all kids who live with parents who shouldn't be parents.

This is a phenomenal and courageous admission! What a burden to carry for a young child. Most people have experiences that affect them in a negative way. When the experience comes from parental abuse, it's bound to be even more difficult to shake off, if not impossible. I hope it helps you in a meaningful way to write about it in this way.
