Welcome Ginger

Sorry to read about your dad.

As for what is normal... In part, I used my own feelings.
If it didn't feel right to me growing up, I questioned it and tried not to do it myself. As an example... punishments or being yelled at and belittled. It can require a lot of conscious thinking before I would act but over time I was learning more and more. It took me reading the bible to learn much more of what is proper. Believe in God or not... the bible is full of life's examples of how to do things in a better way.
A verb is an action word. A Proverb helps a verb. (English class lesson number 101)
Well just by reading through Proverbs that are found in the bible, we can learn many things that can help us in our actions.
1 Corinthians 13...Love is....
That one set of verses also helped me find growth.

As I said...believe in God or not...the bible is filled with great examples of what is the better way.
