I have nothing to say on how you raise. I am certain that your dad did what he thought was best for you out of love. Actually, and please believe me, my father told me a story very similar, how his dad threw him into the East River as his first swimming lesson. Tough Irish family. My dad got us a cabin by a lake in Connecticut, 20 yards from our front porch. My older brother had the boldness to swim to an island in the middle of the lake, an almost 2 mile swim. Why? He was trained by father how to swim and had the confidence. It was evident only years later that my dad thought being thrown in the East River, with its current, was cruel. To each his own.

That’s strange, if your Dad realized what cruelty was because his Dad had been cruel to him, I wonder why he was so cruel and heavy handed to your Mother........if these stories are actually the t***h and not just attention seeking! Perhaps this is part of the reason that you are so filled with h**e and have a desire to control the way others think. How many times do we see a person that becomes an alcoholic because they were raised by an alcoholic! It’s not to late to face the very real possibility that that may contribute to your problem. Was he also an alcoholic? I sincerely hope you can find peace, a peace that only can be found in accepting who and what Jesus Christ is........it is so much more than your “love is all that matters” theology. Especially when you have shown no love to anyone that supports this President and President Trump.
