When I was 10 and my sister was 7, we both witness
By Anonymous
When I was 10 and my sister was 7, we both witnessed my dad slap my mom 6 six times and eventually chased me, my sister and mom outside the house. Ive never felt so powerless in my life, Especially against an experience that threatens my mother's happiness. In the long term, everything turned out fine. But I vividly remember the scene 8 years later. Fast forward 8 years later, my parents are separated, my mom lives alone and my dad brought a woman ive never met but they've know each other since 7 years earlier.

Witnessing such an horrific act of violence and not being able to protect your mom can take a toll on your, especially when the perpetrator was you father. You mentioned they are now separated, how has these experiences impacted your life and how you relate with them?

i have always avoided becoming him and I can't wake up hearing his voice and have a good day.

that's quite sad to hear. Has he ever tried to reach out or tried to reconcile and do you have a good relationship with you mom? Who you say these experiences have affected how you relate with people generally?

I think I just overall became different. I became a violent person overall. id pick fights all the time.

My dad is someone who blames his imperfections on other people. So, even apologizing or whatever....is not in the cards for him.

it's good that you are aware this has influenced your actions and behaviours and knowing that you dad might not take accountability for how is actions hurt or affected you, though it's sad. But it gives you a reason to want to do better, be different so you don't put people you love or repeat the same pattern on your future family, don't you think so? Repressed and unresolved issues have a way of affecting or or showing up in our lives. What are you doing to be better for yourself and your future? Have you been able to share with your mum how you have been feeling or how that experience impacted you?
