I can relate to your love for farming. I come from a rural town and my father was a farmer. He was also an abusive husband, but fortunately he changed his ways just on time to allow us to love and respect him again. I can feel your pain for not having had the chance to heal that would. It must be tough.
My father died some years ago and even though some of us still have emotional scars resulting from his violent years, we also have good memories to compensate.
I miss visiting my mother's house and taking care of her garden. It is an abandoned house now and I will probably never see it again.

hi @hlezama, How nice when you recognize that your father also left you happy moments.
That shows maturity
Thanks. It was tough to put bad memories behind and love him for what he was. He always meant the best for us, his methods were just too unorthodox, at least by today's standards. Men of his generation learned about life without many words and through even thougher methods.There was not self-help or therapy back then. You just had to man-up, as they say.
But once you forgive your parents for whatever flaw you think they had, it is easier to see all the good stuff.
Although I recently learned that parents are not forgiven, they are honored and blessed.
Because they have given us the greatest and most valuable thing, Life.
It is good that you are familiar with agriculture, it is a very rewarding activity.
Apparently it was normal at that time for parents to be strong and abusive, many people my age share this experience
It's good that your father has been able to change, that guy's wounds are hard to healHello dear friend @hlezama good afternoon
I understand that melancholy well, with my mother we have left a house behind, now I pass by and I see her very deteriorated, it hurts my soul to see her like this
Thank you very much for your time and your kind words
Have a happy start to the week
