I Hate Bad Parents

I can empathize with those who have resentment towards their parent(s). My father was an alcoholic and gambled his paycheck every time he got one. You knew he lost when he came home and went off on us. One time, for reasons still unknown,he took off his belt and beat the you-know-what out of me. I still have those memories but I promised I would break the cycle and have done so to this day.
