I'm so sorry to hear this. And this site is here to be supportive when you need it.
It sounds as though you are spending so much emotional energy trying to forgive and understand your father, but please think about prioritising yourself...

Brought back so many memories
Posted on Tue, 15 Dec 2020
Brought back so many memories! The feeling of pleasure when you've found something they like doing and that will keep them occupied. The feeling of hysteria when they like it so much you're doing it or reading that story for the 240th time! ...

I thought it was a bit more

Agree so much with your words
Posted on Sun, 14 Jun 2020
