Replies theleger Posted at 10:40 pm on Sep. 16, 2008 man you got balls. i hit my dad as well. however the fact that you had the balls to apologize to him, makes you much more of a man than myself at the time. my dad used to hit my sister and my mom.  then one day he cocked back like he was going to hit me, and i ducked and weaved and cocked him with a big left hook, and he went down.  he never touched me, or my mom or sister again.  its been three years since he talked to me, and three years since i tried to talk to him. and after reading your story, i called him, and spoke to him, and apologized, and he got up and came over, and apologized to me, and we talked for 3 hours.  things will never be the same, but the healing process has to start somewhere.  good luck to you. ManicD Posted at 4:25 pm on Sep. 9, 2008 Now he knows you will stand up to him, you might not have to do it again, maybe just stepping foward will be enough to stop him Charolastra Posted at 2:36 am on July 19, 2008 Quote: from Pebbles123 at 9:17 pm on July 10, 2008 Your mom is stupid for not leaving. :( easier said than done, it's very hard for people to leave emotionally and/or physically abusive relationships 721 Posted at 12:02 pm on July 18, 2008 you did the right thing! hungryboi Posted at 10:40 am on July 16, 2008 I hope your dad will look back someday when he gets really old and regret his entire life and what he did to your mother and how much of a man you were to stand up to him.  Guilt and regret can kill him from inside out. usblogger Posted at 10:34 am on July 16, 2008 good job protecting your mom. how did she respond to that? tbonerskylar7 Posted at 6:26 pm on July 10, 2008 Good job for protecting her. sexybrown0304 Posted at 6:22 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Pebbles123 at 6:17 pm on July 10, 2008 Your mom is stupid for not leaving. :( I want to stab people in the eye like him. fucking agreed Bubble girl Posted at 6:19 pm on July 10, 2008 Good for you.  My older brother hit my dad cuz he pushed my mom through a door.  My mom left my dad.  and my brother and dad havn't talked sense. forfallonyy Posted at 6:19 pm on July 10, 2008 nicee Themouser Posted at 6:19 pm on July 10, 2008 It deserves to be repeated, PROTECT YOUR MOTHER Its a natural response.  He is stronger, she is your mother.  It will be no more or less awkward than it has been for the last 20 years, just sorta different. And its good to apologize as well.  He is your dad after all.  But any guy should expect a son to defend his mother, deep down, he may even be proud of you for doing it.  Maybe now the reasons for the abuse can start to be addressed, now that he just can't steam roll over her anymore.  There are things that can be done to maybe save the marriage and them both enjoy their comfy years.  If not, then the comfy years only bring him more time to abuse her, and yes, she should leave.  No one deserves to live in fear and to be beat. Anonymous Posted at 6:19 pm on July 10, 2008 Your mom is stupid for not leaving. :( What can she do though? She stuck by him through the tough years, and now that they're in the "comfy years", she at least deserves the financial benefits and social status that comes with being married to him (he's a doctor). Believe me, I would wish nothing more than for her to leave him, but that's really not possible at this point. Cake and Sodomy Posted at 6:19 pm on July 10, 2008 That's good that you stuck up for your mom.
