I don't know you well enough to make that call, but it may be worth exploring. I suggest this to people who have had particularly emotionally abusive parents.

Clearly, the finger isn't the only scar you bear. Emotional abandonment in childhood affects one's whole life. If you haven't searched Complex PTSD yet, I highly recommend it. My go-to for that is Pete Walker's site.

Yes rather sad for the old man to grumble about a pooper. Good memory though.

Your earliest memory there and the aftermath are very vivid...I see that you also have a physical reminder of it.

I agree with sam and Kabu! Poor you! But it's great that you do remember. Maybe I will also tell my earliest one. Thank you. And I'm sorry your father wasn't kinder to you.

The scar tissue would be enough to remind you forever that it happened but what sort of a father always had to talk about it in a way that made it seem as though you had done something wrong.
