Mad as hell about an entry I read
I just finished reading about half an entry on OD, and I am mad as hell. The young lady who wrote the entry recounted a struggle with her sister and the sister’s boyfriend – who sounds like an asshole, to me, but I don’t know him. She then quoted a letter from her father. Father?!!!! He doesn’t DESERVE the title of "father"!!!!!
If ANYONE, including my wife, EVER spoke to either of our daughters that way, I would be out for blood. I don’t fuck around when it comes to my kids. Yes, they’ve made mistakes. Some of them were VERY serious mistakes that have damaged our family. Do I get angry at them? Of course I do. Do I tell them I’m angry? Sometimes, depends on the circumstance. Do I tell them they’re a crack-ho just like their mother? WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!!
Let me clarify the last two statements. My wife is not a crack-ho. The person this entry is intended for will know why I said that.
A parent’s JOB is to love his children UNCONDITIONALLY. How can a person say such nasty, hateful, horrible things about his own child and claim to love that child?!!!!!!! I totally do NOT get it!
If I live a thousand years, I will never ever understand why some parents (or in my case, my grandparent) seem to thrive on tearing down their childrens’ self-esteem, when it is our DUTY, our PASSION, our God-given place to sustain them, not deplete them!
Ok, I’m about ranted out for now. This just really hit a nerve.
For the young lady whose entry I noted and and am writing about, I will say this….it doesn’t matter if you’re perfect or not. You deserve to be loved NO MATTER WHAT! I’m so sorry you were so hurt by your own father and sister.

the cycle of mental/physical beatings does not end unless someone recoginzes it & does not do it. And words are “just words”. they know they hurt. sometimes, someone’s own unhappiness takes over & they may not have the mind/idea to do something else & are mean & nasty. hate is a lazy way out. to love someone means giving of yourself unselfishly, some ppl are too lazy to get up and give you a hug.
