Physical Abuse

As a child I would fear getting in trouble. The end result would be my so called father spanking me. As I grew up I began to fear other people. That fear which was caused by someone who had no understand about the correct way to raise a child. The most difficult part about this fear is the lack of respect it caused me to have for myself. Most of us have grown up with this type of abuse. The end result can cause children to become passive aggresive. In middle school I began to let me other people walk all over me. Eventually i became very depressed. Because of this fear i failed to develop strong boundaries. Each child should be  allowed to express themselves in a positive way. If my father would have sat me down and explained to me what i was doing wrong everything would have been different. Probably the most difficult part about the physical abuse i went through was the way it effected my relationships. Every relationship i have been in bad due to the fact that i have trust issues. I am married now which has helped me to grow as a person. My wife understands me better than i do my own self. She has a healthy respect for me. Today i have zero contact with my parents, I feel this is the only way for me to be a healthy adult.
