Sometimes I wonder
If you remember
The words you would hurl
At us

Your anger,
Exploded
Every day.
We were the victims.

Everyone else,
Thought you were incredible.
An askan, dayan, a rabbi
A powerhouse, they said.

I saw your power,
How you emptied the cupboards in a rage
Because they weren't neat enough

How you pulled my 6yo brother
Out the room,
By his ear
(I do not remember why)

But I remember
The slaps you gave me
The names you called me
The tears I shed

Do you?

Totally with you on this one.
But no, they don’t remember. They block their atrocious behavior out of their minds immediately and think that they are wonderful people.

I’m so sorry. You deserved better.

That’s so painful to read.
I also have these questions for my father. The problem is that when I asked him about this, he reacted in a rage and blamed everyone and everything but himself. Since then, I’ve never brought it up again. He will never own his bad behavior towards us.
