My parents

[SimpleLifeParticipant 439]

I gotta say, I am very lucky. A little background. My mom’s parents fought all the time, so she decided she wasn’t going to have a home like that. She always respected my dad and my childhood home was peaceful. Especially compared to a lot of what I read on here.

Very few women like that left.

It is good you count yourself lucky. You are the envy of many people. For you to have a mother whom understood the damage of creating drama in the home, whom decided not to be a part of the problem, and instead her looking to be a part of the solution.

You say you can compare a woman to your mother in a positive way and mean it.

Sentienentity, you are very fortunate your mom made that decision. The stress from living in a house where everyone yells all of the time left me forever intolerant of raised voices. I can’t even watch a movie or TV show where the characters are yelling at each other.

That’s because I grew up in a house where my dad yelled constantly, at least until he and mom divorced when I was about eight years old. Then mom began to yell constantly. I remember standing in my bedroom doorway, listening to her yelling at me over something totally trivial, and thinking to myself “Why the hell does she have to yell? Can’t she talk like a normal human being?”

Peace to you.

My dad would also have fits of rage and it still disgusts me to this day. I honestly have zero respect for people who get truly angry and can’t control themselves.

My parents had children because it was expected of them. The normal thing to do.

My father would beat me with a white leather belt. It was the 70’s.

I got it a lot. My Asperger’s wasn’t a disease back then, so I was just acting out. Mom did her best.

Which is better than he got. His father beat him with an axe handle. It was the 50’s.

Moral of the story if you aren’t 100% wanting to have children and raise them. Don’t.

I’ve spent thousands on pills and therapy. You can’t undo some damage.

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

It’s true. If it wasn’t for Zoloft and opiates I would be miserable.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

This was my dad to a T. I spent a lot of time with my dad in the last two years before he died, and for the first time in my life he opened up and told me details of his childhood. His dad was a monster. My dad, in comparison, was a kitten. Even so, he left a hell of a lot of emotional scars on the four of us.

I was with him at home when he died. I stayed in his room until the undertaker came to wheel him away. And all I could think of as he lay there lifeless, was how there’s a man who tried really hard in life, but never should have had kids.
