I swear old people will tell you the most traumatizing stories like they're fun anecdotes

[mumudolce]

Kudos to your dad for breaking the chain of generational trauma. Mine passed his trauma to me but I’m the chain breaker.

[BunnyQueen]

Older generations think young people are just being “sensitive” and “dramatic”, but this is the real truth. They were all horribly abused and just learned to deal with it. And that nowhere near necessary or healthy!

[LilChuunosuke]

Here's the thing about abuse: you either learn how to cope, survive until you can escape or...you don't. A lot of us contemplate the latter.
Minimizing their behaviors and laughing at them is a great coping mechanism. Hell, i talk shit about my abusers from time to time. Laugh at their expense. Even though they've done irreparable physical and psychological damage to me. Because when i succeed, when i laugh at them, and when i grow, it's proof at the end of it all that i won.
Your dad is laughing because his dad can't do anything to him now. He is damaged, but he survived and can freely talk about the abuse he suffered without fear of punishment.

He sounds humble like a man who closes his eyes to really appreciate food and never take it for granted rather then to shy away from the past. I think he’s healing and that’s his why of showing it :) he sounds like a great guy

[bread]

The reason that someone would do that is to remind their victim that they have control over them and that they can hurt, manipulate and take away anything they want

My dad was horribly abused by his parents, especially his dad. He's told us many stories of him and how he mistreated him, but he holds no ill will towards him. My grandfather died quite a while back, when I was a kid, and we did not attend his funeral. I'm happy not to have met him.

[earnestherbivore]

My grandpa wasn't kind to my father either. Despite that, my dad is a very loving man, which makes me admire him.

[evie]

The way she said that he “DIED” like she sounded really happy but I would be too🤷🏻‍♀️

[AmbloususLee]

My chef often taught me when you close your eyes and eat, you close off one sense so you can focus on the smell and taste of the food more. I feel like that's something like respecting the person who made the food to you and slowly savouring the taste.

[williamsrightcheek]

her story’s are so inspiring and the food she makes looks delicious

[almasrehman]

My grandfather used to beat my father with a belt, tie him up in a chair and put chilly powder in his eyes. But my father has never raised his hands on me and my 3 sisters. He hasn't even really raised his voice at us either. He's a loving kind father and I am forever grateful for that.

[PiousWolf]

“he has to close his eyes to hide from them”
oww, that one hurt…

[hissonggirlmoni]

It could be because he really knows what is like to be starving and when he closes his eyes he can focus on the flavors he at one time had to didn’t know he would have the next day. To savor every bite. I’m glad he has good food and a good family to help him heal so much that he can laugh. Because it’s laughter helps you go on. Helps you heal. Crying keeps you in the moment and holds you captive.

i feel the same towards my grandpa, almost 40 years ago, my grandparents had 5 children, around the ages of 1-9, for some reason my grandpa randomly left my grandma for another girl, he didnt pay a penny to help her raise 5 young children alone, it breaks me the most because my grandma still cries about it every now and then, she deserves way better, im more than glad that my grandpa died, hes an embarrassment to me.

[deadsoon]

I admire your father for not letting the cycle repeat itself with you. Sadly my father did, and he became the same monster his own father was. Generational trauma is a curse. But it can definitely be broken.

[valeriaday]

Isn't it strange how people who go through tough, terrible things like that, can look back and laugh at them? I've always found that interesting, my husband is that way....but I've noticed people like that are humble and have strong values.

[taho]

My grandfather was a soldier, the sole provider of my mom's family when she was a kid.. He saved many lives and nearly lost his but despite his rough past he is the sweetest and most generous grandpa ever
Sadly he died in november of 2020

[spleens]

My own father once told me of how when his older sisters would go arm and arm down the road and how if they weren’t back by dinner, he, as the only son, would he sent off to find them at the ripe age of 5 years old.

If he came home by sundown without them, he’d be belted. As if it was the fault of a 5 year old boy that he didn’t know where to look for a 12 year old, and an 8 year old

[ariellealexander]

I actually cried. My friends don't understand why I giggle when I talk about what my parents did. "If I'm not laughing, I'm crying." I left my folks behind and I've never been so happy.
