Thank you for this article. It resonates with me. I had that type of father and we suffered a lot as children and my mother was treated as a nothing. She did it all but never got a thank you, respect, affection or love. I left as soon as I graduated from school. She didn't have any resources, lived in fear all her life. Now here in this day and age resources are very limited unless you have money. Horrendous what your country is going through. Just need an egotistical, narcissist to ruin someone 's life and a whole country. Ally, we need more voices like yours.
It really is shocking the damage people can do when they just don’t care how their actions impact other people. Or maybe the shocking part is how anyone can be that way. I’m so sorry you suffered as a child, I think there really is something so painful about watching a parent you love get treated in a way that you can see — even as a child — is not okay. It hurts your tender little heart. And I’m sorry your mom wasn’t treated with the respect and kindness she deserved, but I bet your love was a balm. Sending you hugs, Yvonne. I’m so glad and grateful you are here ❤️🩹❤️
Ally, thank you so much for your kindness. It means a lot to me. One never get over the abuse inflicted in childhood and beyond. My mother was such a beautiful, caring person that deserved the best but she got the worse. I was there for her to the best of my ability and I visited once a year and my father's abusive behavior continued but when he got older it was my mother's turn to turn on him. It was heartbreaking to see her so full of pain and seeking revenge. She couldn't let go of the hate and resentment for all the pain he put her through all her life. It destroyed her. She still continued to help others, showed kindness and caring ( that part of her remained) but full of anger at her abuser. She stayed because of a lack of resources, the good old Catholic church and my mentally challenged brother whom she loved with all her heart. Some people don't have a heart or a conscience, they're psychopaths. They kill your soul. I'm glad and grateful you are here, too. ❤🤗
Oh Yvonne, I’m sorry, that all sounds really painful. It’s the whole “hurt people, hurt people” cycle. I’m sorry for your mom, and for little you. Sometimes the only thing you can do is love people from a distance and hope they’ll find a way through. Sending you tons of love and hugs through the interwebs ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
