Nov 14, 2009 - It's not even verbal. My dad was nice to me....when he was around. He lied to my entire family and would leave for months and months at a time, come back for a day or two, and leave for months again. And he wouldn't pay my mother any money for bills, so we ended up losing the house. ._. So while it's not verbal/physical abuse, it was just as bad for the family.

Nov 15, 2009 - my dad beat my mom all the time, and my brother (who wasn't even his) he was a real heavy drinker they got divorced when i was three. i'm sixteen now, i didn't see or talk to my dad from the time time i was 6 until i was 15 and i just started talking to him last year. being in an abusive relationship/family is horrible and my heart goes to anyone who is in one.

Nov 15, 2009 - I am curious, is she singing about actual events that took place in her life? I agree with 1Phoebes. It truly is a very powerful video :-)

Nov 15, 2009 - What you describe would be called neglect; both physical and emotional. I don't know if it would qualify to be prosecuted, but it left it's mark on you, so in my book, it counts as abusive.
