I can still here my father saying to my mother:

" Are you more happy now that you have hurt someone else?"

Then he would shake his head and sadly walk away.

My mother today is 89 years old and I think she has never been happy.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> that sounds like a very hard legacy of abuse to be raised under. we're so sorry that was your environment growing up.

we're so proud you're able to let us know some of what your homelife was like. we're also proud you've broken that legacy of abuse by not perpetuating the cycle. it is hard when one isn't raised with examples of alternatives to emotional or physical abuse......how could one know differently if one has never had positive role models to learn from? Just a sentence sorry it wasn't better or kinder.

take gentle care sweetie.

Thank you for your replies!

My father was a simple man with a great heart. He would always think twice before saying anything.

It's sad that when I was a small child that I don't remember him. I think maybe it's because he was often away for his job. But then, I don't remember nothing of that time of my life.

My father was a fighter and he cared a lot about other people.

My mother was/is a controller and wants to be first in everything.

Thank you for reading!

Hello TIME. I am sorry that you are going through this at this time. I was just noticing your new yin/yang icon. Isnt it nice to see the nice things about your father and have a good example in your life to imitate, to see the possibility of progress in your own life, in who you would like to become in the future. Take care Time Sincerely Soidhonia
