(((( Googley )))) It is the job of a parent to protect a child - from anyone (even themselves). When that was not done, there was a failure. And a father not protecting you - wow.... yes, that hits home. My dad walked in on me being abused and he stood there and watched then told the one abusing me to get to sleep. He did nothing to help me or stop it from happening. I share that with you so you can see that it really is abuse when a father does not stop the abuse from happening.

Big hugs to you!!!
