My father the psychopath

I am having a rough day.Last night i met with my 14 year old daughters counselor at the program she had to go in for ~CUTTING~/depression/suicidal thoughts/possible personality disorder starting-borderline. It was dealing with anger problems(parents group/counseling for us to help our child)there i was with kids dad-who-i loved and he IS normal,but,he had a porn addiction when young and it resurfaced to destroy our marriage....then,SATAN entered in through a psychopath-my last husband.Anyway,it showed i just had MILD anger issues-they scored the test from mild,moderate,severe anger issues.I had to tell when mine hit a 10(which often it doesnt)....well,once was when my dad hit me while 8 1/2 months pregnant across my naked back(sun-dress)with a leather strap! I cursed him-ran to the car and he tried to kick it open and i pulled a 38 on his a..,then,there was the time my dad threatened to KILL me at 8 if i told another LIE on him-the lie(TRUTH IN FACT!)was that he RUBBED me up on the front of his groin in a way that made me feel ~DIRTY~! then,there was the time he gave my younger brother the pellet gun and told him to shoot my sister in her legs!!!!!!! I saw it and told my brother if he did that i'd take it away from him and shoot HIM! Then,daddy dearest gave me a switch blade and told me to cut a girls guts out at school for arguing with me-saying smack to me...then,the time when daddy was jumping on to my passive grandpappy and i saw it and realized full well,that,IF i did NOT PROTECT myself-NO-ONE would/could.....i was 12 years old when i remember thinking everyone has to sleep some-time-i was going to slit my dads throat in his sleep! i remember seeing my mother get in front of his car BEGGING him to stay-i remember saying run over HER and LEAVE! I would be rid of them both-she a classic narc! SELFISH,COLD,to me and my sister....self-absorbed.Later on my brothers son shot and killed a man on daddys property that my brothers son was having an affair with his wife! The man went to confront him over it-My daddys response? THE SON-OF-A-BITCH deserved to die-he had no business on my LAND! YES! ALL TRUE! I have PTSD but mine stems from a life-time of abuses-being called stupid,crazy,(i have add) and i'd never amount to nothing-and-noone can put up with YOU(mom said this).....then,never having anyone but the kids dad that i could EVER,EVER trust then,he betrayed that-and-i fell in the pit of the ULTIMATE abuse-the PSYCHOPATH ex husband.I'm not feeling sorry for myself,but,reflecting on a lifetime of abuse that seems unending.I never learned to love myself-always selfless in my life. Always giving,loving,nurturing,loyal,committed-what did i do to deserve such evil -i was only here/borne.

those monsters!!

my heart bleeds for you...having a psychopath for a husband is enough of a living Hell...i cannot imagine having a father for one...the most important thing for you to do is to remember that anything you thought about your father was totally reactionary and IMO pretty appropriate considering what he was....YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME.... and Rache...they were all WRONG...you have amounted to something...you are a wonderful person...and as for your family.....BURY THEM......make them dead to you...we can't choose our family..but we can choose to have nothing to do with them.....you don't owe them ANYTHING except contempt..... you are a wonderful person in SPITE of them....and that is your greatest victory....you are not them.........

I read your story earlier and I haven't been able to stop thinking of you all day. You must be one absolute tough woman to have endured everything that you have been through and still be sane! I am proud to say you and I are the same gender! I looked for your "story" but didn't find it. (Did I overlook it?) You should be "bullet proof" by now and if none of these dysfunctional people took you down before, they sure as hell never will! Things can only get better for you Rache cos they sure as hell can't get any worse! Keep fighting and being strong for yourself and your kids. You will definitely be in my prayers tonight...

Thank you for your prayers and your words tonight.I am really having a difficult period today.My story is here,but,i didn't write everything,as,i feel kind of inadequate expressing myself-being called crazy/stupid,etc kind of makes one gun-shy about opening up at times,and,i have had my trust betrayed so many times....i just hope i can help others with what i have suffered through,as,it would all have not been in vain.

You have been through so

You have been through so much. You must be made of titanium steel to be functioning at all after all that warped behavior in your formative years. I'm truly sorry. And very sorry to see your daughter going through such trouble. It is easy to see reading your story how important it is that she is getting help now and may have a chance to help further break the cycle. The truth is a powerful antidote. Big (hug) to you.

my psychologist

told me,that,most people would have been 6 foot under to go through half what i did.He is a christian,and,told me that what i have been through reminded him of JOB. I also had 6 stillbirths(5 boys)1 daughter,and,4 miscarriages.I have raised 8 children-6 grown,2 daughters age 14,7.My daughters problem stems from attachment/abandonment issues- to her older sister now 26-she left at 21 and it left my daughter who is now 14 feeling abandoned by her-she looked up to her and played barbies with her etc....HOPEFULLY,she'll see through her issues and face her demons,and,be rid of them.((hugs))back to you.

You sound like me

I am sorry your life has been so full of adversity. You don't deserve it. I too, was told almost the exact same words by my therapist. I said I was sooooo tired and asked if I should be and he said the six feet under comment along with or I could match stories with people who are in prison and outdo most. I have often said "my life was not a dress rehearsal". It's sad sometimes but I too, don't want sympathy. I just want strength and for it all to stop so the love in my heart can shine. I know under my circumstances, not yet. But as all have told you, you are STRONG. You must be to speak fluently with your words and be here to do it. I often felt I was going through this life being 'fine tuned'. Don't know what it meant but it must be this. My good friend who is hospice nurse said I remind her of the story of Job. I finally read it one day and cried. I am doing some amazing things right now and have no idea how they will turn out since just last month I thought I was done, toast... I don't know how old you are but we are never too old to suddenly say WOW! This was what it I was being strengthened for. Hopes this helps you feel not so alone and big hugs to you!! sh

back to you.Yes,fine tuning IS a perfect description.i am 53 and GOD has kept me physically youthful and kept my mind strong.There is a reason for everything we go through....Here is a verse for you...God will take everything that the enemy has meant for our harm and turn it to the good for those that LOVE him.
