When I was 11, one of the kids in my school told me, my parents must hate me because the beat so badly. I never forgot that.

Kids are curious and can be cruel. There’s nothing you did to deserve what they your parents did to you. Simply nothing. As an adult I can honestly say this is true and the deficit was all on them. They were the problem that simple you were just born to them ill equipped parents. I suggest not renting any other thoughts against what I just said in your brain because there is only one answer as to why. That’s why it’s hard to make sense of what they did ... it doesn’t make sense.. the simplest answer is the answer.

Hi joemac1114,

I'm sorry you had to go through that. i know how hard it must have been to be victim of violence at home and also having to bear such cruel comments. And being a victim of bullying at school myself I can understand how the cruel comments never leave you completely. I often wish things would have been different or I'd have reacted differently. But the fact is I can't go back and change things. And luckily both of us have passed that phase now. You might agree with me when I say that we've been through many incidents to point out how special we are and we have people around us who realize our worth. So let's not take a hormonal kid who probably had his own issues growing up seriously?

Hope that helps. :)
