Mental Warfare was his goal to completely destroy me as a person. Sadly from childhood to teenage years he was successful. I tried to kill myself when I was 17. But survived. Tried again when I was 25 because of a broken heart. The idea of rejection and loneliness was too overbearing to handle. I was diagnosed with dependent personality disorder when I was 28. Mainly thanks to my dad.
