My father died in 1993. Before that he was the enabler who did nothing to protect me from my mother's verbal, emotional and physical abuse. Even when he was at home, which was not often in my early years, he was not 'available' to me, and when he was at home more in my teen years, my mother forbade me from speaking to him in case I upset him.
I have tried really hard to find some, but I have no happy memories. I didn't even really know the man and all the posts on FB this morning are making me very, very unhappy.
