[QUOTE="hopeandjoy66, post: 657852, member: 18181"] SWOT. I wish I could say it was only mental abuse, but it was abuse on every level. I spent my younger years scared sh-tless. The day after I graduated I left home never to return to live. My mother had a favorite child also. My twin sister was the scapegoat. Her abuses were extreme but that was because she would speak out like you. I took on the roll of peace keeper. I was pretty darn good at it too. LOL My dad was a wonderful loving man, but never home and when he was she made his life hell. He too eventually, left after 42 years of marriage. He met a wonderful women and they lived happy for two years until he died of emphysema. He had a good couple years. In my early twenties I was so angry at my dad for not standing up to her but realized that he was beaten down as much me and my sister. My brothers seem to have had a different up bringing. The boys could do no wrong. Oh they did wrong!! Isn't it amazing that all these hardships have brought us to this place. Oh how I have grown threw all of this. It is only through struggles, are we given the opportunity to grow. On some level I am truly blessed for this. This is why, I believe our Difficult Child's have to struggles/consequences so they can learn and hopefully grow. I do believe in tough love and always have. Tough love with love. [/QUOTE]
