I deleted last post. Feeling down over memories of my childhood. Most of my siblings have wonderful memories of my late father. Some of us don't. I don't share my bad memories with my other siblings because I don't want to tarnish theirs. But my dad was a troubled man.

He was brave in battle in WWII. Of that, I'm proud. But he was hurtful to me, my husband and my children. Words cut deeper than any knife. If you weren't up to his physical standards, you heard about it. Over and over. I don't hate him. My feelings are conflicted.

Be mindful of the things you say to your children. The effects can last a long time.

I’m sorry. I had an easier time forgiving my late mom, who was quick in swinging the belt or paddle, than my dad , who spoke the most hurtful words without a second thought.
