A netizen shared how his parents always beat him when he was growing up. But recently, his mother asked him for money for the first time and he was reluctant to give it to her.
Here is the story:
“My parents used to hit me a lot.
If I did something wrong, if they are angry about something or someone, … they hit me. Sometimes, I woke up and already get yelled at, I don’t even know why. If my mom hit me in the afternoon because I did something wrong, by the time my dad was home around 6~7pm, she told him what I did, and he too will hit me. There are countless times when I sit in a table with them for dinner in tears while they continue to yell at me, I didn’t even dare to pick up the spoon to eat anything, I just sit there and cry.
They hit me with everything they can grab, broomstick, belt, plastic chair, comb, … even a pan. They hit me in the face, hands, legs, … everywhere I can’t cover. There are even times my mother strips me of all my clothing and pushes my head in a big barrel of water. I still have nightmares until this day, I’m 28 now.
My mom used to say she will never need a single cent from me, she will never count on me for anything, and how much of a disappointment I am. Even as a kid, I always want to run away, but I can’t, I didn’t have money or anything.
I hate them to the bone. I used to swear to myself that I will never give them back anything.
For the past 10 years, I make my own money, and buy everything I want but never had as a kid. My parents also change since I make my own money, and they don’t have anything to control me anymore.
A week ago, my mother was sick and have to stay in the hospital for 2 days. They call me and told me that they need money. It was the first time my parents ask me for money. I have the money, I just don’t know should I do it or not. My girlfriend told me that I should because after all, they are my parents. After a lot of back and forth in my head for a while, I send them the money, but deep down in my heart, I don’t want to.
I don’t know what I did was right or wrong, I don’t know how I feel now. I wish they just said they love me just once, things would have been different now.
If you have kids or someone you love, please don’t hurt them, tell them how much you love them every day.”
Editor’s note: At the end of the day, she’s still your mother isn’t she?
