Hi Jenny I’m a victim of verbal and emotional abuse, I know my father may never accept the fact that he is abusive. I’m still in the process of accepting and forgiving. I cry myself to sleep some days. My suitcases are packed up, I’m very ready to leave my fathers house and cut ties with him. I went to college at 16 I didn’t even know what I wanted to do at that time, he put so much pressure on me and I ended up choosing something I didn’t like. Fast forward two years in college I slipped into depression and I stopped going to class, I eventually dropped out. Now my father has punished me he says he won’t pay for my college . I hear him talking to my mum about how much money he wasted on me when I was in college those two years. He went on tothe call me a failure and a disappointment but I don’t dwell on his words. I know I am a winner, sometimes I feel sorry for him he is just so angry at the world for nothing. I’ve had just about enough of him talking down on me. I will work two jobs or three to pay for my tuition if he won’t pay and I’m not expecting him to pay anyway. Slowly I hope to cut all ties with him.
