I’m glad you don’t hate him, but he’s an adult now. It’s not an excuse to allow the abuse to continue thru him and passed on to so many others who do not have the skills to see that he is abusive and manipulative. It’s not okay to allow the circle of abuse onto others. I think his voice resonates most with people who are used to verbal abuse ... they recognize it in this family history and latch on because it’s familiar to them and they believe it, because it sounds just like “home.“ my momma and my daddy voice. At least he’s incapable of hiding as he is incapable of seeing himself.
