Comment on So you grew up with a dad who didn’t know how to express love? Here’s how it could be affecting you today by Emma.

My so called father has never once said he loves me. Has never hugged me or said he is proud of me. He used to beat me and my brother as kids. I am scared of him. Now he is older I feel like I should have pity on him but I feel pain and hatred. I have no trust in men and no male figure I can rely on. I envy people who have a loving dad and hate feeling this way. My dad has not been called dad for a long time
