I'm sorry to hear about the way you were raised.

Here's a few of mine.

Sometimes my dad would hit me when I wasn't expecting it. One time he was in a bad mood and i was trying to avoid being hit by wiping the table and he hit me on the back of the neck anyway and yelled that I wasn't fooling him.

He would always tell me that the bank would end up taking my home and I would be homeless. Today I am still living with my parents at the age of 33, and I think that might have something to do with a fear of being homeless.

He would tell me that my wife would take my home and leave me lying in the gutter or that other men would take my wife.

He once said if I saw a naked woman I would cry.

Well I'm 33 and I have never had a girlfriend.

He tried to embarass me in front of my mother's family. One time my brother and sister were making fun of his smoking habit by coughing and he turned around and punched me in the nose and I was bleeding. This was captured on our home video camera.

I think this explains why I don't like being around large family gatherings. I feel like someone will say something to embarass me.

And there is other stuff.
