I get it, it explains your behavior that you were abused. that your father screams at you and you have substance abuse issues, ptsd, and were bullied since age 5. i completely understand, but to beat up and bully/insult others because of it IS NOT OKAY.

i believe there’s good and bad in everyone, and potentially you could let out your good side, but im also hypersensitive and hate when people let out their bad sides intentionally regardless of stuff like this.

hating people because of their skin color or disability or sexuality, you should be fucking ashamed.

I always tell my kids, there's a difference between understanding the influences on your behavior and forgiving the choices you make. You had a bad day and you didn't sleep well and your sister was annoying you? Yeah I understand why you were upset, but that doesn't make it OK to hit her.

Understanding and forgiving are different, and forgiveness comes when you're sorry and try to do better. If you're trying to justify your bad decision, it's like you're asking for an excuse to do it again next time.
