Being the eldest daughter of a 4 nuclear family sixty-one years later to be physical threatened by the abused son from our abusive father has been mind-blowing. The abused son who also abused his ADOPTED daughter has stayed in DENIAL as did his abusive father. And now has glorified our abusive father with “a loving father, who always led by example” in the obit including his other sibling not owning his words. A man who used his belt on both of his babies (just over 1 years old to “teach them a lesson” to later beat his wife literally almost to death in front of his 4 and 7 year old children. The abused son remembers as do I.
Add on the abused wife who will live w/battered wife syndrome until her dying day mastered in Psychology. There are worse stories of physical abuse. After being gone for 5 years serving in the Navy and to return to same dynamics in 1988 w/o getting the MAIN monster to loosen his tongue or any of them has been one lifelong journey. I QUIT being the eldest daughter many times to revisit out of guilt. I have one severely broken adopted niece and biological niece to this very day. GET OUT GET HELP DON’T GO BACK.
