I grew up in a very nice and safe home. I have a questions for those who did not.
How did you find out that one or both of your parents were not up to the parenting role? I mean when young every child almost automatically thinks that their folks are great. Did an adult take you aside and say "Kid, don't listen to dad/mom?" Or did you figure it out yourself?
after about the 10th time my father whipped me with a belt so bad it drew blood on my ass.
My mom came to me one day and asked me whether I would prefer that we live with my dad or without him (this was in 1958). I told her that I would prefer that we live with him because I was scared that if he found out that I said I didn't want to live with him he would beat me.
sometimes it takes a while. I find it absolutely amazing how much hell and terror you can get used to as a child. You just simply think that is how it's supposed to be.
i'm 33, and my parents are still the same, just divorced.
