As I sat in my bath water I squeezed the cuts until the water was red. Then when mom came in she went ballistic on old "Beltman". I got some bet of satisfaction in that, but never quite enough.fuzzbert_1999@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523386203834736598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416025006889323651.post-38669583483255468012008-05-01T06:26:00.000-05:002008-05-01T06:26:00.000-05:00I can't say something, to much violence makes me f...I can't say something, to much violence makes me feel down.<BR/>Michelle, you are a braverous woman, writing this on your blog will help you (I'm sure of that).<BR/>Take Care my friend !<BR/>FranFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607298824843401936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416025006889323651.post-78508127831055287672008-04-30T09:08:00.000-05:002008-04-30T09:08:00.000-05:00UGH. I can so relate to this. Your brother sounds ...UGH. I can so relate to this. Your brother sounds as horrific as my 3 brothers were. He saw what you went through, yet still taunted you and allowed you to take a monstrous beating because of him. <BR/><BR/>Do you speak to him? As far as trying NOT to hate your father, well sometimes that poses almost as big a struggle as coming to grips with our past does. I say let what you feel come naturally, and if hate is what you feel? Let it be. You cannot go against nature. <BR/><BR/>You can keep it from eating you alive, though. Very well written post. You had me right there next to you, and it made me want to wring your brother's neck.Karen ^..^https://www.blogger.com/profile/05197114237324824217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416025006889323651.post-13012022869237065242008-04-29T22:55:00.000-05:002008-04-29T22:55:00.000-05:00I was abused by my father when I was growing up.

I'm sorry that you had to go through that.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683169496395540565noreply@blogger.com
