When I was a child

When I was a child. My father used to be violent toward my family. Over the years I held my anger at him within me. I did not express anger towards others, even when they hurt me. I preferred to be a victim or to give in rather than get angry. I just did not want to be like him.

  1. When I was a child My father used to be violent toward my family.

  2. Over the years I held my anger at him within me.I did not express anger towards others, even when they hurt me.I preferred to be a victim or to give in rather than get angry. I just did not want to be like him..

  3. When I grew up, I learned that it was importantto know how to express anger, That I shouldn’t always carry within me the pain others inflict on me. But in order for my anger to have a father..I had to take responsibility for my reactions.

  4. Then I was able to see my angry father as a human being, to understand his feelings and accept his pain.

  5. Now I feel that I am allowed to get angry too. I am not afraid of the human being I will be. I can be humane even when I am angry.

  6. We are angry atGaza.We have brought them judgement and pain. And now, listen: And now, let us look at the hurt Gazan child..

  7. That child is within me.. To recognize his pain does NOT weaken us. To understand his feelings does NOT indicate self-hatred. To help him does NOT mean we do not care about our children.

  8. To treat others with kindness does not weaken. It strengthens.

  9. To help even if you have been hurtis empowering. Dedicated with love to the memory of my father, Elad www.havayati.co.il
