nepalichick#1 My dad was and still is overprotective kinda person with a really big ego and I was beaten up by him all my childhood until early teens. I bore the burnt of his temper for his his wish to see me become axactly what he had intended me to become until my early teen years of my life. For him may be that was the way to make me not loose direction in my life. His intentions were good but his way to achieve that goal was totally so disgusting and deplorable. These days my heart is torn in two between letting that bitter experince and feeling go (for his good intentions) or seek vengence (for bringing physically and emotionally tramatic exerience to my most part of my life) . After I left my home four years ago my communication with my dad is almost non-existent and all the communication happens with my mom, my younger sister and my younger brother. Emotionally I feel really detached from my dad so now I have no idea even if he had or has great intentions and wishes for me will ever have any positive impact upon my life and my future. Before my parents could ever suspect I experiemnted with drugs, had gang fights and I left thee shitty stuffs far behind as it become clear that it was time to leave those shitty stuffs behind and my dad's fear that I'll someday beome some kind of drug addict or an alcoholic or a gambler or a womanizer or a criminal never came true. Now I have goals to reach and some place I wish to be. I have a wishes to fullfil which my loved ones will adore and I have a dream to live. My complaints towards my overprotective parents (for being over protective) has susbided to most degree and I believe my parents fears for me for my well being has subsided as well. May be one day I'll find out why and how parents become overprotective towards their childeren when I'll get married in few years and start to have children of my own. Proabably that's the best way to know WHY ?? chao
