My father was an engineer, gifted and well educated but that doesn't make him emotionally intelligent. The two can be mutually exclusive.
Both my parents were victims of abuse, there was a time as I came to understand how they were victims of abuse that I felt a little sorry for them, that something really horrible must have happened to them to make them become the people they were, but then I realised that they made a choice to behave that way.
Mostly now I just feel disgust at how someone so intelligent could be such a selfish arsehole and abandon us kids to my sadistic mother, it actually makes it feel worse, because if anyone should have known better it was him.
