Dad was abusive to me as a child,as male.He saw something was not right with me that he did not like..I grew up inside feeling I was born the wrong gender starting at age 5.Kept this in until 3 years ago.It was physical and verbal starting when I was 10.Called me the F word a gay male is called a few times.Called me names at times.Plus he did hit me and pushed me towards the wall.Mom was at work.Including down the stairs .One day mom noticed bruises on me,told her dad pushed me down stairs and she called the cops.She was the savior that day,he was arrested.I was glad he was found guilty on child abuse and endangerment charges.Did go to jail for it where he died doing his time at.
