"My Dad Used To Do This To Me!"

"My Dad Used To Do This To Me"

"My dad used to do this to me" is not an excuse for abuse.  It does not justify abuse. We all have the responsibility to unlearn what is wrong and relearn what is right. Whether a person chooses to abuse or do what is right is ultimately their choice and responsibility.  You may read my story "My Life Story In Detail" what I went through, but I chose to use the things I went through to be compassionate and kind towards others who have been abused, bullied, raped, etc.  That was my choice to do that.  I did not choose to use that as an excuse to abuse other children or animals.  I have a good wife who can testify that I never abused her and our love for each other runs deep.  I babysat kids and none of those kids would ever testify that I abused them. That was my choice.

You have a choice to decide what you are going to do with your life.  You also can make a difference in people's lives.  You can choose love and kindness over abuse. That choice is ultimately yours. "My dad used to do this to me" is no excuse for the choices you make.
