I have a bad history with my dad. When I was a kid he didn't really respect me and was abusive. Now that I'm older I hate him a lot because he ruined my life. Is this normal?
Its normal, im an 18 year old female im out of the house now but my father was abusive to, years ago, my dad beat me so hard my face was swollen, and i was spiting up blood and almost died of an asthma attack, and iv never forgave him and he doesnt diserve it. Good luck to all
I see that as normal.
My father was abusive too, and he ruined my life as well. But then I got a job and moved out and honestly? I couldn't be happier. Maybe I will forgive him one day, but he no longer has any say over how my life goes and my life is no longer "ruined" as you would say...
Seems normal, but I would encourage you to confront your dad. You still care about your relationship with him, or I don't think you would've written this. And you do deserve a relationship with him if you are willing to forgive, and if he is willing to admit his wrong-doing . Then you definitely have a shot at moving forward and keeping the past the past. But make sure you get to a place where YOU are okay with or without him. Hate isn't going to make you feel better. Best wishes!
Some people are very deserving in having you hate them. It's okay. There's nothing wrong with hating someone who was abusive to you. The closer a person was to you, the more deserving he/she is to be hated.
