I witnessed my dad beat my mom. It is not a pretty site to be so young and powerless. Many times I wanted to yell scream and raise my fists to my w. Instead I remembered what my dad did and quickly got away from my wife. Maybe she thought I was running away. With time I took the crap that came my way calmly and with understanding
My sis didn't want anything to do with my dad but she wanted me to act like him
