[quote=Anonymous]As a child and up to my teenage years I was physically and emotionally abused by my dad on a regular basis. I'm not talking about spankings and getting yelled at, my dad used to beat me and call me all sorts of names. The worst was when he kicked me in the stomach knocking me down to the ground and punched me in the face. He's even dragged me by my hair to the basement and then continue to beat me. I was always scared of my dad and resented my mom for not protecting me. There were times where she would just sit there and watch me get my ass beat which made things 100x worse.

I've told my parents on several occasions that what they did to me in the past was not acceptable and they seem to just shrug it off. My mom even had the nerve to tell me I need to be more understanding because my dad had a terrible childhood and he did the best he could. After having a kid of my own, I could never imagine treating my kid the way my mom and dad treated me.
