my father used to abuse me all the time , physically and mentally abuse me. he would hit me, thrash me until i bleed while my mother just looked on adn did nothinh. Then they would pretend to be such innocent caring loving parents. My husbands parents are the same his father is a mean drunk who has tortured them all his life and his mother is a wicked old bitch who continues to torture is until this day if she cant use us for money and other benefits. But they all pretend to be all so holier than though, go to church and preach. they tell us that we will ho to hell for not doing what they say and for hurting them. I dont know how to explain their attitude. It is like they are amazing parents who have done the best they can , countless sacrifices, so selfless etc and they deserve to be treated like royalty for being parents when they are just basic dirty scums who hust fucked and unfortunately got kids and did not know what to do with them. they are hypocrites.
