If it was whom I hate getting hit by a car, I too probably wouln't look away. But there is few people I hate and my parents are not included. I have and still could hate my father and my mother too, but it is useless. There's nothing to do now. My mother In my opinion made some bad choices in life, though I still love her being dead anyhow, and do think, that on her own way she was a good mother. My father is an alcoholic, but that is something i have never hated him for. People (well doctors etc) always assume we don't get along because of booze. But I have been taught from the very beginning that alcoholism is an illness, so i have always forgiven him for drinking. I used to hate the rest of my family because they would critizise him and yell at him, some sometimes even hit him. But he is also mentally ill, (besides the alcoholism) he's depressed and generally (very) anxious. He also has had a difficult childhood, having had an alcoholic father and being apperantly always lonely. The only thing I blame him for is how he treated me personally. Leaving so much responsability on me way too early - and I'm the youngest child. For blaming us of his miserable life. For thretening to kill himself eveyday because we weren't good enoung children. And at last, years later finding out i have mental issues too, accusing me of making him look bad as a father (because I didn't do well enough in school for him) disappointing my mother's expectations by not continuing a hobby my mother had put me in, for longer than seven years after her death... For accusing me of lying constantly for no reson, claming i have "lost my mind". For the first thing he said to me after hearing i have seeked help from a doctor being not to talk about his alcoholism. Being first worried for his reputation - that doesn' exist. .........well this is just a bit of the surface but let it be then. I don't hate my father.
