HATRED TOWARDS MY FATER

My father beat me when I was a kid. All I can think about now is that I want to ******* smash his face in. I found his phone number in the phone book and called him and told him that I wanted to fight him.... I left a message on his answering machine and told him that I wanted to fight him. I gave him my address and phone number but he never called back.... He told me when I was a kid that if I ever thought I could beat him up to call him and he would fight me. I base my life around revenge now and I hurt people close to me like my father used to do.... (not physically.... Mentally) even tho sometimes that can be worse. I have agoraphobia now, and sometimes I cannot leave my house at all.... I dont blame this on my father, but things he did to me when I was a child could have provoked the way I feel now. I am a father now, and I would never do to my kids what he did to me. I think that it would feel GREAT to beat the **** out of him at least once, But I don't think that he will come near me anymore since Im alot bigger than I used to be. anyways I just wanted to vent a bit.... sorry if anyone thinks Im just a guy pleading for attention. if anyone can give me advice I would appreciate it. I have anger issues I need to resolve, I cannot take any type of authority figure in my life. I am very angry, and I want to stop being so angry. my mind is racing with things to say.... but I dont want to talk to anyone I know about it....

I strongly recommend you read a book called "Forgiving the Unforgivable". It's not a long book.  You could probably read it in a few days.  The author of the book had a horrible father as well.  It was the reason why he wrote the book.  It's based on Christianity, so I don't know how you feel about that.  But I think regardless of whether you believe in God or not, this book provides some very good solutions toward forgiveness, letting go of anger and moving on.  Please give it a chance.  Good luck.  Let me know if you do.

"Bad Childhood,  Good Life",  by Dr. Laura Schlessinger.

Here you go,  I even put up a link so you can order it directly from Amazon.    It's very readable,  and quick,  and practical and it will allow you to move on.    Just because your childhood was horrible,  you don't have to have a miserable existance now.  Living well is the best revenge.  ;D

Best wishes to you.

Anger and hatred takes lots of energy...lots of energy that you could be spending on things that are worthwhile in your life...Even though you are not with your father anymore, you are continuing to let him "beat you up" mentally everyday.  He doesn't deserve this kind of attention and does not deserve to keep monopolizing your life.  A suggestion:  write down everthing you would want to say to him...say every nasty thing possible that you would want to.  then, tie it to a helium balloon and let it go.  Let the letter go with all of your anger.  Remember, the only thing that you can control in life is yourself and how you react to things.  You cannot control him or change him or what happened...so you must let it go so you can continue your life.  If you can do this, it will let you be "free".  Free of the pain and free of the anger.  It's over..move on.
