Hour after hour, they shouted at me, accused me, insulted me and members of my family.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If your parents ignored you, or if they are just not emotionally available, or if they yell a lot, that is a type of trauma.
There was mental and physical abuse in my family.
They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.
They were willing to do anything to stop me.
They will accuse me of stealing from my father. They already stand in baited judgement, waiting for my first move, waiting to dump their loads of garbage on me.
They have vilified me, they have crucified me; yes, they have even criticized me.
They made a shrewd guess that I could give them some useful information, and they were the first to meet me. Some one said they came to arrest me, and - well, let it go at that.
I was called really horrible, profane names very loudly in front of huge crowds of people, and my schoolwork suffered at one point.
Let them hate me, provided they respect my conduct.
All of them turned their backs on me at that time because they thought I was a troublemaker.
