My dad ruined a lot of my life

He's an electrician and he never taught me anything. He could have taught me everything he knew and I would have had an easy self-employed job. He came from poverty. He beat me up a few times and was abusive towards me and my mother but got away with it. He chased me out of the house one with a knife and made me homeless because he was unhappy I stopped going to school because I was being bullied, so he basically bullied someone in a vulnerable position. He hit my mother as well but she can't even remember it happening, she seems to have been brainwashed by him. I find it hard to trust men because of him.

  • I think there comes a point in our lives when we have to stop the blame game and take responsibility for ourselves and the choices we have made to get where we are at now. 

    I feel we should take ownership of at least a portion of where we end up in life.

    I know it's a complicated subject though. 

    How much of our lives is genetically/circumstantially/environmentally predestined Thinking

    etc etc ...
