Thinking about my mother, but of course my father arrives to assume center stage. Ranting and railing, cursing and name calling. So much belittling. To what end?
This is so sad. Well, if anything, a lesson is learned even in the most toxic of circumstances and that is that by way of upbringing you have become a better man than your father and the circle of toxicity has been broken.

Kurt! it was even better at my house, in which these words were hurled: "You ARE a piece of s***!"

Sigh. Maybe concentrate your efforts on YOU as a mother?
Yikes.
