not sure what to make of all this
My dad has never laid a hand on me. My mom was the disciplinarian. I think he kicked me in the butt one time in Yosemite when we were hiking and I was being all pissy, and then when I was 13 he threatened to knock all my teeth out, while he screamed in my face. But other than that, he pretty much avoids conflict

i came from a very abusive mother (my grandma was my only saving grace)...she was both physically and emotionally abusive...one day when i was 13 i finally hit back...i hit back and then some, i left for a few days and it was only a matter of a couple years (i think i was 15) until i left on my own...i do not have any contact with my mother, nor do i feel the least bit of guilt or remorse...
my mother should not have been a mother...i understand her context; the need she felt to be a 'good female' and bear child, even though being a mother is not something she was remotely drawn towards for her own reasons...that being said, she made me pay for it, and so i have never seen blood relations as holding any degree of importance...if you, as a blood relation, does not treat me with the same level of respect as a friend would, then i have no qualms whatsoever about treating you as i would any non-blood relation who treats me in the same way...
of course i am not saying people don't make mistakes or can't make up for them...however i see no reason to allow blood ties to hold any bearing over how i treat or view someone...
i am truly sorry hun that you had to go through that, especially with Simone...i can't imagine how livid you must be...take care of you and yours at all expenses...that is what i say...
*hugs*
