That was difficult to read but I'm glad you wrote it. I hope you have found some peace with the people you can choose to call friends, family and loved ones.
We love and respect you and are here for you whenever you need us.
Yikes, man. This was a hard read. Hopefully you've moved on. This type of stuff was kind of acceptable in the 80's and it sucked. I dealt with it as well and it ended with me beating up my step dad and getting my own apartment at 17.
You are an anomaly that has transformed into someone to admire instead of falling victim to the path that could have been predicted based on your experiences. I admire your ability to be the bigger person. You have every making to be a villain, but you are better than that. It isn’t your villain story, it is your Hero plot in the making. Only you could do it in reverse and make it look so damn easy.
You have taken all the violence, poison, venomous and soul crushing treatment inflicted upon you and turned yourself into a beautiful, kind and caring person. This is in my opinion the best revenge for the unimaginable pain inflicted on you, by your own family. I salute you as you are obviously the living example of a strong and loving human. Hate is just jealousy of those who have love in their hearts.
I wish I’d known bc I’d have been a better friend back then. I don’t know what I’d have done, but I sure would have tried to help somehow. I sure am sorry, my brother. I sure do love you, though.
"Hurt people hurt people." I'm so sorry you went through that, but so grateful your daughter didn't. Cheers to the cycle breakers. ❤️
Damn straight, love.
Kudos to you I guess for still interacting with her in some respects. I doubt I would do the same.
It’s incredibly difficult

My heart goes out to you - I can only imagine how hard that was to write.
