Hmmm, I would say no, because my father was/still is a very abusive person, not so much physically, but emotionally. I have debated whether or not to contribute to this topic, as I didn't want to bring you down. Feel free to remove it if it brings the mood down.
But, on the positive side, I have been dealing with this issue and I was finally put it to rest and forgave everybody involved.
Looking forward to reading more.
