The fact that people can make up excuses doesn’t make it any better. You could make an excuse for anything.

yea thats true the trick is to get if from being an excuse to being something to work on as in your dad has had a bad childhood so he knows whats wrong but he need to see someone about it and get some help with things.

That often happens, but that doesn’t make it a good excuse. There is no such thing as a good excuse for abuse.

In fact both of my parents were abused and they are absolutely outstanding parents, so it’s definitely possible to break the pattern.
