Is it normal that i still love my father?

Now, my father was never one of the greatest men. He hurt my mother severely (nearing killing her multiple times), hurt my brothers, and never did anything for me yet I was his "favorite".

Yet, despite all this, I can't find it in me anymore to hate him and I think I even still love him. I heard that he was abused growing up so maybe if things had been different, he would've been there for me. What I'm saying is, it may not have been all his fault.

I was thinking that if I ever have a kid in the future and it's a boy, I'd name him "Monty" after his grandfather.

    That's nice :)
    Although I wish you had the same respect for your mother.

      She never said she didn't have respect for her mother

    Sure sometimes that happens.

    Forgiveness sets us free.
