Search Results: love at old age

Growing up, my father was very neglectful and cold, and whenever he did decide to pay attention to me, he would terrorize me. When my mother would go to work and left me at home with him, I was never fed, bathed, or shown affection. If I tried to get him to notice me, he would scream at me to “Go away!” or “Leave me alone!” I would tell my mother all the time what he would do, and she never did anything about it and still stayed with him, no matter what. Mind you, I was 4-6 years old when I had to endure this bullshit. At an age I couldn’t take care of my own needs. Also, this is all just a small portion of what he did.

As I got older into my teenage years from the age of 9, things have changed, but he kept his neglectful ways. My mother was still with him, and she would always say “I know he doesn’t show it, but he does love you.” She just didn’t want to leave because, yet again, she was dependent. I will admit that I had a terrible attitude, but it was mostly because I hated my family. I still do. I hated the fact that I had to fucking deal with a father who didn’t give one single shit about me or well-being, and a passive aggressive mother who let him do whatever he pleased. He would drink beer every fucking day, and whenever he got drunk, he acted like an intolerable, blunt asshole who would mock and make fun of me for everything. I was sick and fucking tired of it. Seriously.

Okay, GAG, what do you think that I should do?

It's not me but it's my aunt's story long ago:
- She had a boyfriend and both were then 19 year-olds. The guy left on a train and promised to return on the same place. In tears, she promised she'll wait for him on the same train station.

She waited and he came back 11 years later. To her shock, he had aged badly (a lot worse than her), was fat, had undergone a horrible divorce (his wife cheated and left him for his best friend), lost his job and was a mess with old clothes. He claimed to always loved her and asked if she would settle down with him. She rejected him and said ''You're not my love I waited for. I waited for a brave, healthy and honest man not a desperate, wrinkled fool that only wants me as last option. I'm sorry but you're not the man I've waited for. You're someone I don't recognize. I'll now move on and seek my real man. Good bye''.

Needless to say she got married to someone else (my political uncle) the following year. Would you say her rejection towards her previous boyfriend was right?
