Yeah, it's the psychological crap that still torments me today. My mother's emotions manifest themselves in some strange ways that I still restrain myself from being open around her.
My father was my safe haven though. I remember a couple of times him coming in during the beatings and trying to deflect her rage to himself. He say things like "the boys had enough", but this would enrage her further.
I still love her, she's my mother and has supported me when I needed her there. Yet, that pain of childhood under her thumb still eats away at me today.
