My dad was never what you would call a "good parent" as he's very strict and doesn't have good parenting skills.
Oh wow! My parents were also very strict. I was the oldest and had too many responsibilities.
Do you feel that you were ever abused? Did your parents cause you harm?
No I definitely wasn't abused. They just expected too much from me.
Oh that's good! I was not abused either but there was domestic violence in my home. My dad used to hit my mom.
That is terrible. I am sorry you had to witness that.
Thank you. I actually feel very lucky that I wasn't abused since children who live in homes where there is domestic violence are 15 times more likely to be victims of abuse.
