Hello friend, this issue is very personal this situation of the father who mistreats the child looks a lot, in my country venezuela the laws are not so rude, but as for us as people there are no laws or country the feeling of resentment is the same time they say that it heals the wounds, but not completely, it is your decision to forgive or not your father, I have not lived that situation, but I know that there are parents who never change

I'm grateful for your support, I hope you fix your situation and take the best decision friend
