This took a lot of emotion from me to say thisBut I call a spade a spade because a lot of marriages are still damaging their child/children mentally and emotionally I had to take some self development courses to realize how much damage I would have done to my children at the end of the day, in life we all face challenges, but every one has their limit to pain and anguish Growing up I didn’t experience love n affection as a family and I really wanted that badly for my children, and not getting it made me frustrated like I was living in my past..You as a parent going through a bad time in your marriage or career and it’s pushing you to the level where you pour it on your child? Take a deep breath and relax,I speak today because I know a lot of marriages that still do this to their children, please stop it and work with your partner, let’s stop the circle of abused adults.. a circle of men and women who were abused verbally and emotionally because of what their father did or what their mother did .. People say hide what you are going through, that is how depression started.. please parents we can help our children to be better adults Are you a single mother who is going through the pain of abandonment ? Or are u a single father going through the pain of caring for the child alone? Please think of the innocence of the child and help them grow up without the violence and abuse .. the truth is a child never forgets and how you treat them mold them for the future God bless you
