Right or wrong: you pick.

Your parents obviously haven't gotten any better with age. You deserve much better, they should spend their lives apologizing.

It's obvious that you need to confront this, but they aren't willing to help you heal, so you'll be on a much longer path to reach this goal. Gather yourself some loving, supporting people to talk to and don't expect quick peace.
And DON'T take shit from them. Let them know how you feel even if they don't want to hear it. Whether they tell you to leave or stay afterwards is their own decision.

The FYI compels me to believe that your parents can shove it. If they won't accept their mistakes now, they probably won't tomorrow either.

No parent is perfect... BUT if you abuse your kids in any way, then fully expect them to turn around one day and confront you over it. I think you were right to say something. Sorry that you drew the short straw and I hope you've made peace with your situation as much as is possible. Every adult is responsible for themselves and what ever issues they have. Your parents abuse could have been a displacement of their own issues - but that's no excuse. You don't treat a child badly, end of. Maybe they do realise they did wrong but can't admit it/are too proud. Sigh....

I accidentally hit it's wrong because I meant it's wrong that they treated you that way. What you did shouldn't of caused such a huge fight. I'm so sorry you had to endure that.

I'd tell my parents to go to fucking hell and tell them they should be ashamed of how they parent and id probally fucking call the cops when I was young / kick there asses they don't diserve kids my parents were like that I told them to Goto fucking hell and die

ITs not surprising that the same unreasonable people that would abuse would do such a cowardly thing.

may be they couldnt do it in the bestest way but im sure they would have always tried to do whats best for you thats why when ever you'll declare that ,they will get angry and not accept it....
they are your parents remember the ones who mostly love us the most... and may be they have been in some kind of tension or crisis that time and you eventually became the sufferer of their depressed and tensed behavior but they would have not wished for that !!
SO just love them , im sure youll be having many things to love them also and rather more than the ones for which you hate them... STAY BLESSED!!! :)

Not really wrong or right; just un-necessary. What could you have hoped to do with a 5 minute pep talk to sway a life time of experiences that have made them that way?

But what they did was most definitely wrong. Just shake the dust from your shoulders and move on.

You're definitely in the right to tell them off like that, especially if they one day decide to have/adopt/foster another child.

It sounds like one of those things you say at a deathbed moment. Your parent is very poorly and you mention how you forgive them for all the bad times you put them through, and it's supposed to ease their passing..
Or have I been watching too many, afternoon, made for TV movies.

I remember trying to bring up a similar thing with my mother. Unfortunately for me she acts like a child, can't blame her though. It was, however, very disappointing.

Weird. First there's a post that bananaface wondered if she wrote drunk and now there's one for me too. I don't know what to say. This is all a bit spooky.
