Respect


We all want it and we all think we deserve it.

I want my Dad to treat me equally but he doesn't and never will.
He always talks over me. He puts me down. He never says anything supportive.
I stopped going round for family Sunday dinners in May because I could stand it any longer.
More than anything my partner SK has expressed her disgust at his attitude to me.

I also want more respect from SK. When we argue she sometimes loses her temper. She has hit me twice, and I deserve more respect than that. I have told her to get help or leave.

I love her, but cannot accept her violence. I have had enough of that from my Dad and won't put up with it from someone else.
