My counselor told me once that one of the most damaged patients she'd ever seen had had a father who had never touched her but he never allowed her to close a door. Ever. Her bedroom, the bathroom- always had to be open. And she always knew he was watching. There are so many parents who should never have been allowed to procreated. Sounds like your dad might have been one of them. I'm so sorry. What a fucking bully. And I can remember sewing late at night too.

Sitting next to him at the table as he loaded casseroles onto bread and ate it all so very daintily was, in itself, a vile thing to witness. <br />I'm sorry- I still have deep anger. I just do and I probably always will. But at least I can think of what I did get out of the whole experience which was positive and there are those things. Plus, I can actually find some humor in some of it. Which is probably my saving grace. <br />And can I just say that I'm glad you're here? So glad.

I would block most of what he said out almost immediately, not even being able to tell someone later what all he said. but we grow up and we leave home. he had me so helpless I had to get married to a man I knew I would not stay with in order to escape. am I trying to eclipse your pain by writing this? I hope not. you went through far more than I. I am a loner, like being alone. people tire me out after 30 minutes or so. learned habit maybe as my parents wouldn't allow me to have friends. not so my sister and brother, just me. anyway. I used to love to sew, would stay up all night to make a dress.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-22528024501406949112017-08-21T06:51:55.092-04:002017-08-21T06:51:55.092-04:00Yes, I can only repeat that I am glad that that lo...Yes, I can only repeat that I am glad that that loathsome thing is dead.

I'm sure she did what she was capable of. I comfort myself in my own situation believing my parents did their best and what they knew how to do. It doesn't lessen the aftermath of abuse but it does release me from deep anger. Most important is that you choose to live your life completely differently. You protect you kids. You love th up. You sew beautiful dresses for <br />Maggie. You've survived with such a beautiful heart. You set an example in the world for how to go thru a hell and go on to live a meaningful beautiful life.
