Gary, welcome to the program.

Hello, Dr Laura, thanks for taking my call.

You're welcome.

Um, don't mind me because I get really emotional so if you can't hear me it's because I'm trying to keep my emotions at check.

I'm 59 years old and back when I was five years old my my father and mother divorced and my father remarried

shortly after that and when he remarried she turned out to be very physically abusive and mentally abusive.

And further on life, we found out that she was bipolar.

But the physical abuse he went through is what I went through.

And kneeling on Broom handles, I remember skipping gym for two weeks because I had belt marks on my back, that kind of abuse.

Your father didn't notice. had built marks on my back, that kind of abuse.

Your father didn't notice, he participated with her, he didn't care.

No, he did.

Where was your father through that?
