Anybody knows what that means?

I didn't until I was already out of the house.

Mine hurled insults, cut downs, slams, physical assaults, called names, cold shouldered, screamed, mental twists- basically terroristic bullies. Mes and my father never talk...

My mother took her cues from her husband and went along with it....but for some reason we still feel sympathetic for her....maybe because she was married to the abusive jerk- getting treated just as much, but behind closed doors? For she often would be crying.

My mom got better over time. She still tries to improve, everyone in this head of mine sees that and appreciates it.

Dad... we never know what to think. One second it seems like he's better, the next it's like "old times". I still love him. I don't know if I'm stupid for that, probably am.....

I heard that. I'll tell you, it just does not click in. If they did not do for you, you just will not have it in your heart to do for them. Something does not come from nothing.

And i would not present myself for one last drumming. Then at the funeral home, at last i felt my childish fear of her. Very weird. It twists you forever.

I don’t even want an email of his passing...he be dead already...long gone. But mom...she is mom.

Last I talked to my father figure...I said DID....Look it up...bye. Same he always did me...figure it out for yourself....

Hugs to all that hurts.

But mom...she knows everything about me and the Others that we are comfy for her...she always wanted the best beyond the Nazi of a father.

What if it were the step mother who left you with the monster knowing what he was doing? I recently remembered a lie that she told us for YEARS. She said that the marriage counselor they were seeing helped her escape. The counselor knew how he was and what a monster he was. Helped her and my step brother leave, left me there. A counselor by law would have to report the abuse if she knew. I would have been removed from the home. This just hit me, she lied this whole time thinking I would never put 2 and 2 together. How do I forgive this?
My protective side wants so bad to call her. We haven't spoke since October at my brothers funeral.
