My father was told by doctors that because of my mom's problems, they could not have children. nine months later I surprised them both. My mom called me her little surprise. My Dad called me their worst mistake. If I could not live up to his expectations, He would beat me until I could barely move. He then would tell me that he was not through with me beating me more. I prayed for death to come quickly but it never came.
I was told that I should not be stupid like he was and get married having children. If I were not born mom and dad would be able to have a life. I was his loser, disappointment and burden. I never was able to get close to him. he said hugging was for sissies and any crying he'd give me something to cry about and crying is for sissies. to be continued...

I'm here and listening as well. You weren't a mistake. No matter what he told you. I hope you realize this.

Your obviously describing a man who totally lacked any ability to raise a child approprately, any child would not flourish with this man, even the most intellegent capable human on earth. This is important for you to understand and make sure that you conclude that you are in no way responsible for any of his lack towards you.

What role did your mother play in this atmosphere and did she make any efforts to compensate for this worthless abusive parent?
