Is it normal i think of torturing my friend’s abusive dad?
To make a long story short, I became friends with a girl a few years ago. She became a very good friend, but I learned she had suicidal feelings, and that she had even attempted it and ended up in hospitals numerous times. I learned that her dad is abusive, and that she describes him as “scary” and that he sometimes hurts her. I don’t know how far the abuse extends, but it’s made me angry enough to wish I could hurt him. I wouldn’t want to kill him, but make him hurt so hard that it would be traumatic for him, and he’d have such severe trauma it’d cause him to have flashbacks to my torturing of him and he’d be too scared to hurt her again. Since I like irony, and my friend cuts herself, I would think something like stabbing his arms with as much strength as I can, and threatening to do worse if he harms her again. Now after reading all this you may think I’m insane, but I only feel this way when I’m angry, and I don’t think I’d be brave enough to do something like this. But the point still stands that I really want him to understand the pain he caused. I think everyone who’s harmed another doesn’t necessarily deserve harm back, but at the very least should be confronted with the consequences of their actions, and to feel the same pain they caused others. I’m sorry for the long rant but this is something that’s been bothering me for a long time. I hope someone has something good to say.
