When I was young. My dad hit me and my mum. When I was 7 he kneed me in the face and dislocated my jaw. 9 my shoulder. he cracked ribs and I was introverted through bruises at school. To quote Yahtzee "I'm not a staving limbless HIV ridden orphan."
I'm finally getting on with life. However.
My girlfriend of 3 years turned to me and said [was sober during this time] "It was your fault. If he hit you: You should have stopped what you were doing." ...when I was 7? really?
I mention this because he died recently and I declined to speak at his funeral. That was her reaction to my explanation. She is stubborn about he view and says "Your/[I'm] self centered for feeling so awkward about it when you/ should think of what my family wants."
EDIT: "Forgive her. She doesn't know what she's talking about."
