My father abused me from little, until I was 20 yrs od. Beating me up, whipping me, kicking me, trying to strangle me, humiliating me, calling me a f** idiot, piece of s**, accusing me while I was innocent, and many more. Got my mother to do the same to me after a few years. Now I wrote to him about this, and he's reported angry at me, he will never again talk to me. I want him to recognize his abuse, to ask for my forgiveness and to repair by treating me with respect. I struggled through 3 years of therapy about this, culminating in this letter. Now my whole family is siding against me, calling me crazy, how dare I do this to the old man - 85 yrs. old. I am very much ready to forgive and forget, I just need to hear: I am so sorry for hitting you that day, when you were 5 yrs old, and I whipped your little body as you lay in bed already crying and bruised from a whipping you got 10 minutes ago... Yes, I need tohear him say he is sorry, see his tears...
