My dad was getting mad at me for not doing my chore right. I was sick and tired of him treating me like a rat or a peasant just because hes my dad. I was tired of it. He was saying he was sick of me and my brothers attitude (i didnt have one trust me) so i just shrugged “with an attitude” in front of him so he got up in my face and pushed me back and got in my face and saying “Dont play with me you’ll never win this battle” He litteraly was touching nose to nose. Then he started to walk away and i just smiled at him which pissed him off so much so he came back and grabbed my face with my hand and jerked it. I was holding back tears at this point. He left and i broke down in tears. I never asked for him to be my dad which is why i dont think being the parent is the advantage. ☹️

I been thinking real hard about even relaying these awful things about the person that I have admired the most, the person I have respected and revered my whole life but that now, has completely backstabbed me in the worst way possible. A few years ago, a scandal broke in my political family involving my mother. As you can imagine, it nearly broke my marriage and tore my husband’s family apart. My sister in law found my father in law and my mom talking on social media. The worst part of it, when I was confronted, I was accused of knowing about the whole affair and made it looked like I was an accomplice to the whole ordeal. When I had absolutely no clue to such a disgusting mess. I don’t know what neither of them were trying to accomplish and now, I’m the black sheep of the family. No one talks to me. While my father in law is still loved and honored. My mother the home wrecker and I pay the sins of her ordeals. She never once has said I’m sorry. Never! In her head, I’m better off without that side of the family. But it’s not about that; why did she do this to me? Why my father in law? Among so many men? Why him! I guess I’m just looking for an explanation and I know I will never get it from her. Because she just cannot accept she did anything wrong. I wish I could get her version because as of now, I only know everyone else’s but her’s. I always thought I didn’t need to hear her side because it’s not my place to question her, but I have kids who now have to suffer for her sins as well. I don’t think it’s fair to them either. I guess the damage is done as well and the past is the past. I won’t get nothing accomplished but I just want an acknowledgment from her part that she messed up.
