Dear Dad,
Why do you do it? You say that words can hurt as much as physical pain. You say in your 20+ year relationship, Mom is the reason for your pain. You have never wrongfully laid a hand on your children, yet you still feel the need to hurt your wife. When I was 13, you told us that you didn't know that we knew the things you did. How did you not realize that we could hear your words with the door closed. How did you not realize that I cried whenever you hit her. I still cry, but not as much anymore. You had the audacity to feel shocked that we knew. Even as I saw and heard the things you did, I still admired you. I didn't know any better. I saw you as the strong father figure, but now I see you as a monster. You say that you're not the one to blame, but no matter how much you hate a person, it gives you no right to hurt them back. But just because I hate you, doesn't mean I don't sympathize with you. It doesn't even mean that I don't love you. You have always provided for me and my sisters, more so than Mom ever has. You have always cooked for us, spent time with us, laughed and danced with us. All this time, it made up for the bad things you did. But all this time has also wore me down. I am torn between the love and hate I feel. It seems so clear to me that I should hate you with every cell in my body, yet I still don't know what to think.

abuse is abuse. unfortunately, I see it time and time again. People act one way to most. But to the one that they supposedly "love" they will treat as garbage. He treated you and your sister like gold. but not his wife. I am sorry.
