I am not a parent, but I was told that parenting is not easy. But ... I cannot imagine a situation where a parent would abuse a child constantly, verbally and physically, which was my case. Constantly. On everything. How I dress, how I speak and what to speak, where I go, where not to go, with whom to talk or not talk, .... etc. My father wanted to micromanage my whole life to the smallest detail because "I don't know what's best for me", and that I will "thank him later" for his great job in abusing me and my siblings!!
