A lot of how we are treated as kids reflects on our actions as adults.
It can be the smallest of things, we never know.
But there are some things we can never recover from.
It all started when the original posters (OP) dad was a child.
Right at the beginning, our heart goes out to the posters dad, doesnt it?
Well, about three years ago, his grandpa reached out to hismomand siblings.
They were excited and welcomed him to the family, but his dad refused to do the same.
He obliged in the beginning but refused to go later.
The dad stood firm and stated that he would leave the house if his father stepped into it.
Because of this, the posters mom always took thekidsto their grandpas house.
Come Christmas, they insisted that they wanted to spend it with their grandpa.
However, OP and his dad refused.
His mom called his dad selfish and also tried to force the teen to accompany them.
But, his dad stepped in and said that he would spend Christmas with him.
And this really upset them.
Just imagine the amount ofmental damagehis toxic father did to him to make him take this huge step!
And when the family heard about the divorce consideration, they all panicked and ran to the poster.
They expected him to fix things.
WHOhas stated, Experiencing violence in childhood impacts lifelong health and well-being.
So, the fathers behavior must have impacted OPs father greatly.
Anotherstudystates that children who are harmed by their fathers experience a multitude of psychological traumas.
This just makes us sympathize more with the teens dad, doesnt it?
McLean Hospitalhas said that child harm can have a life-long impact on kids.
As per them, Childhood harm has mental and emotional consequences.
Children who experience ill-treatment are more likely to develop anxiety, depression, and memory issues.
It can also result in emotional numbing, social isolation, and panic.
And recovering from something so gruesome must be a real challenge that his dad mustve faced growing up.
It may have negative effects on your relationships.
And thats exactly what is happening here.
