According to Psychologist, experiences we had in childhood determines our personality and character as an adult now. Painful experiences has one of the greatest impact on us during our impressionable years. Painful memories that we often choose to forget. The problem is, if these experiences remain unresolved they greatly affect us now and they contribute to negative attitudes and characters we now have. Talking about it is the first step to your healing process. I was taken advantage physically by an adult who lived close to our house. Not understanding what is going on, I did not say anything to my parents and siblings. But now as I looked back, this experience had caused great confusion and inferior attitudes to me as a person. It took me many years and a lot of God's grace to be completely healed. I thank God that His grace is sufficient to me. And this experience that is once like a nightmare has turned into opportunities for me to help many young people who has the same experiences. What about you?

For me is when my father scolded me. My father not really loving outside, and from his appearance when I was small, he looked like a very cold person, but I know he loved me too much. Whenever I asked him for something, he will turn sour, but the weird thing is that he will try his best to fulfill it. I also remember he will kiss my forehead at night when he thought I was asleep. But now, he much more friendlier and loving. This has taught me to be more loving and caring towards children and I do not blame my father for his act. He didn't know. He not very well educated, but I know deep inside him he love me. Now I see that my father treated his grandchildren more loving than he did to his own children. I like it very much.

Seems to me like a good turn out of event to you and your dad. Again what you see from him became what you are now. Loving to the children.
