(8,646 posts)his kids probably don't even realize these stories are not what NORMAL parents do. They ARE programmed to think it's funny, all in good fun, etc and if they don't go along, they are ridiculed, shamed, told they have no sense of humor, are too sensitive, are babies, etc. My dad was like Mitt and he was abusive. My only saving grace was that his IQ was several dozen points lower than mine and by the time I was a teen I could talk circles around him and he knew it. My dad would've been absolutely insufferable if he had been smarter and had an education. Can you imagine growing up with a dad that has an ego the size of Jupiter? And made millions AND was some kind of leader in the church AND was a governor AND was a success by most measurements? Kill me now. Those guys must be incredibly damaged.
