Lol I don't hate my father, I just feel a bit distant from him since her works a lot and he takes a day off only every two or three days, but I still love him (and he loves me the most out of my siblings) so I don't know who told you that lie
Well mine tried to beat me out of my mothers belly back when she was pregnant with me. He also pushed her down the stairs, hoping she would have a miscarriage.
Oh and he married his cousin on the day I was born after leaving my pregnant mother without telling her.
Do I need anymore reasons to hate this piece of ****?

There is now overwhelming evidence that childhood maltreatment is the major cause of emotional distress. Maltreatment means such things as emotional abuse (cruelty, favouritism, malice), sexual and physical abuse, neglect. The best study showed that 9 out of 10 maltreated children had a mental illness by age 18.
Genes, by contrast, are being proven to play little role. The implications are enormously positive. Our psychology is not fixed. Because nurture is so important we can change the trajectory of our lives, as well as those of our children.
David Bowie’s transcendence of the myth of ‘bad seed’ in his family is a model for us all. He showed that we have many different potential selves, more than we often know. If we can identify them, we can be so much more than the sum of our childhood maltreatment. Developing a dialogue between the different parts of ourselves, we can resist the cascade of destructive patterns down the generations.
