Search Results: called me a slut

When I was in year 10 (9th grade - I was 14/15) my dad kept harassing me. He'd call me a slut, take my money (I got paid in cash) and tell me it was his if I told him not to, he'd shut me in my room and hold the door closed or tell me I deserved to be treated like that or tell me I was lying to get attention if I answered back or stood up for myself, one night when I was sleeping he decided to drag me outside and tell me to find somewhere else to live because I hadn't closed a kitchen draw properly earlier that day (you could hardly tell it was open) and whenever I had work and it was raining he'd tell my mum he wanted to go out for coffee so I had to walk when it was poring down with rain and I'd was always sick.

I'm not going to lie but for a month or 2 after he stopped what he was doing I was kinda bitchy to him (I'd usually lie to him and make it really obvious just to hurt him) because I was hurt.

When I was 15 (after he stopped treating me like that) I was in the lounge texting someone and watching TV during the day and he came up to me and told me he loved me. I was still a little suspicious because I didn't know if he was just trying to hurt me again so I told him he didn't love me. He then looked really angry (clenched his fists, frowned, etc) and I immediately regretted saying that to him because I realised he was probably angry with himself for treating me that way. And that's when I forgave him and stopped being a bitch and lying to him.

Now I'm 25 now and I have abandonment issues because of the way he treated me. I don't know if I should tell him I have abandonment issues since it's been so long.
