That being said, his anger came from a place of love because he wanted the best for you.

What a terrible thing to do to a child. It demonstrates a certain strength of character that you can see it as a lesson well taught.

Abusive!!
I can't even imagine such an experience for a child from his father. I don't know what miracle happened that you made a close bond with him at the end, would love to hear that. To be honest, this kinda behavior is very horrible for a kid's upbringing. Being strict is fine but beating like this is really unacceptable.
I got carried away. 😑

@bornben I think in the life of every child, his mother's love is more important, it is not necessary that the father should always behave harshly, but maybe this is the difference between the mentality of men and women.

Wow!
I love this piece.
This is a pure balanced hike training, while the mom was cool, the dad was hot...it must be balanced ✌️.

Sometimes, especially the moments we get these beatings from parents, we think it's hatred but no, it's part of correction(home training)

It is good that you can find a positive aspect behind such a harsh memory... We all heal in our own ways, and your takeaway shows great resilience. We smile to know that your mother has always been, and still is, a pillar of strength to you.
