I don't speak to my father at all. We completely ignore each other when we see each other in the house and I have basically "disowned" him. I want nothing to do with him. He was terribly abusive to me my entire life and I began to speak up when I was 18, 5 years ago. Since then things have been bad, but about 2 months ago I let him have it and told him that I hate him. It may sound harsh, but it was a necessary move to keep my sanity. I will have nothing to do with him for the rest of my life.
I talk to my mom but we have never had a close relationship. I blame her for never stopping my dad from what he did to me. I can't forget it.
I seem to be in the minority here. Everyone seems to get along with their parents. I really wish I did. They never showed me affection at all and therefore I have trouble expressing it to others.....
At least I know what I WON'T do when I have kids...
