Welcome to the forum. I've got to start out with sending a big hug your way. I'm sorry you've had to go through so much pain and abuse from your mother and father. You're therapist is right, nobody has the right to hurt you or your children, either mentally or physically. Nobody. And whoever does, doesn't have the right nor do they deserve to be in your life.
Stay strong and true to yourself.
