Your father was a controlling abusive brute of a man. He was all about control and power. Real men don't do what he did to you. He robbed you of your dignity, and he didn't do it out of love. He did it out of the need for power control and manipulation. He ruled with fear and he changed the rules just so he could further abuse. He needs help, but more importantly, you need help. Please seek out some form of counselling in order to deal with the repercussions of growing up so fearful and with so much physical abuse. You didn't deserve to be mistreated. You deserve help for the fact that you were. What you deserved growing up was love, true love, to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be given a guiding but gentle hand. Your father has serious problems, and he took those problems out on you. Please seek out counselling for your Self. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Such uncontrolled sadism
by: Anonymous

Derek, where was your mom? Anyway, what a sick, sadistically insane, deluded monster that so-called dad of yours is for beating and berating you. How dare he! You only deserved (and still deserve) love, protection, dignity and respect, none of which you ever received. Oh, and did I mention that he also abused your sister by teaching her to believe that beating you is OK as well? The path that he chose is inexcusable. You are not to blame for his sadistic behavior; he is to blame because he chose to abuse you. You were the child, he was the adult; he had all the power and only misused it over you. I really hope that you're in a safe place, far away from him; if not, please tell someone you really trust and keep telling until he/she will finally listen to you and help you. Oh, and please look into reporting that beast as well.

telling is the first step to recovery
by: Jill

Derek,
I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Your dad's addiction/behavior problem was never anyone's responsibility but his. Realize that your father is avoiding his feelings about himself. No parent should ever beat a child.

When he says he loves you, he's using the words to cover up the confusion and horror he's inflicted on you. It's crazy making and has nothing to do with real love because he loves no one. His sick behavior is all about bullying and revenge in his make-believe world. It's likely he was also a victim of childhood abuse.

When he intimidated and beat you, he saw you as an extension of himself. To him you were a possession, not a person. You were raised by an overgrown toddler which is unreal. Inside he never grew up. You are far more mature than he's ever been.

Your body is your own and no one has the right to touch you - ever. You have the right to be treated with dignity. Mature adults see that their body is separate from everything else.

The world you are leaving was so upside-down. It's important for you to get in touch and reconcile your own feelings about your body now so you can be real and at peace with yourself.

Find peaceful ways of boosting your esteem. A counselor advised me to take up martial arts to give me more esteem. I heard my inner voice say, "After being beaten up, Why would I want to witness or contribute to beating up others or myself? No way!"

As for your sister, she will need to seek help too. She became a passive abuse victim when your father forced her to consent to his abuse of you. I was abused by my father, mother, and older brother. I witnessed my dad beat my brother with a belt. It was horrifying and I felt so helpless. My mom was passive and didn't ever say anything.

The abuse cycle in my family started to seep out of me toward my own beautiful, precious children. I couldn't figure out where it came from because I'd completely disassociated from it. While taking apart an old mattress one day, it triggered the memories of my childhood abuse from 1-20 and I ended the cycle. I feel so lucky to be able to be real with my kids about everything and give them a safe, loving family.

Telling your story to people who care is the first step to your freedom and recovery from your painful childhood.

Your past doesn't have to define your future. There's so much you can do to make a difference in your life and the lives of others.

Let your understanding of what happened grow to replace the nervousness you felt when you were at the mercy of your dad's hands. You have the opportunity to develop the confidence to trust and love those around you. Hear your strong positive, calm inner voice, and spread your gift of caring to others.
