Almost all of us go through some kind of abuse. Whether it’s parental abuse, bullying, or something else, it is a part of life and unavoidable for the most part. What hurts the most is that these misbehaviors come from the ones closest to us. Classmates, parents, and teachers are necessary for our growth. Yet, in some cases, these are the same people who give us the deepest scars.

An example of this reality comes from the book “the seeds of self-destruction or SUCCESS ”. In this book, the author, Charles L. Blanchard, shares his personal story of living with an abusive father. He details his early days of suffering at the hands of a person who should have been his first line of defense from the world. However, the memories of those darker times are now the author’s strength.

So what did he do differently? What makes Blanchard better than his father? The answer is “Not Repeating the Same Mistakes.” He simply does not react as his father did, and his book shares how he does it with great detail. In his life, he went through a lot and many situations were similar to his father’s. However, the author was always able to persevere without resorting to his father’s weak methods.

Where kids learn the way of life from their father, Blanchard learned the things to avoid. His father became his example for what not to do. Whatever his father did to him, he vowed that he would not repeat it no matter how dire things were. Protecting himself from becoming a new version of this father was his way of rising above the abuse.

To learn the right way of life, he looked else like his grandparents, who were fully present for him. What he never found in his father, he got more from his grandparents. They were symbols of love, stability, and affection therefore being the opposites of his father. They were his saving grace, his safe place, and the preservers of his morality.

Besides his grandparents, he looked towards other relatives and cousins. He left no stone or relationship unturned if it meant he could dodge his father’s negativity. In the pursuit of positive energy, he built connections with his cousins, uncles, aunts, mother, sisters, and many others. His goal? To be better and rise above the hate he received from his father.
