It was not because we did not have any food, but because he treasured to punish us. He also kicked us out of the house, and do us sleep outside. Even In the winter.I was terrified of my father. Instead of Henning 2 growing up liveliness love and trust. I grew up feeling fear and pain. I would often watch sitcoms on TV, and regard that I could just jump into the screen.
