I Have Had My Heart Broken

But It'S Not What You Would Imagine

By: xxcassandra1228xx

The one who broke my heart was my father , who used to beat me when he was drunk. I lived with him between the ages of 4 and 7, and he would always PROMISE me he would stop drinking and doing drugs. He broke my heart with his lies. But it has a happy ending: I'm stronger, I've learned to respect myself, and that what happened was never my fault.

    Same thing here, but there were no attempts to change, or empty promises. My father was a war casualty (WWII), one of those "walking wounded", and used this as an excuse (however justified) to get loaded and beat on his kids. Looking back I have no ill will remaining (because I think he honestly did the best he could with what he was given), but my brother still hates him...... even though he has been dead for almost 20 years. I did manage to escape at 14........ and never went back.

    I'm happy to hear you learned something positive out of that experience. You're very strong.

    :( I'm terribly sorry to hear that about your father. Its always sad to hear about stuff like this, I mean he's your father and you look up to him. You want to remember him but not like this. It's because of stuff like this, that makes me avoid drugs completely.
    Stay strong :)
