Quite a thread.

My Father is immature and dangerously controlling. I've grown up with a warped perception of women since he never really treated my mother with respect; she was treated as a subservient rather than a partner, and the recent revelation I had has been pretty heart breaking. He's a totalitarian and extremely aggressive. Toxic and manipulative. Gaslights and threatens others constantly.

He's destroyed my self-esteem and social prospects whilst demoralizing and emasculating me constantly. Every moment spent in his presence is suffocating beyond measure. He's extremely tough and intimidating, and I can't take it anymore.

Sorry for the rambling, but know that the "love your parents" posts I see in this thread make me want to tear my hair out.
