Sorry, man. I've never been around that kind of stuff. How do you move forward so that it doesn't bother you?

It doesn't bother me usually, but my father laughing about the nickname just set me off. Kinda wondering if that was PTSD?

More likely you were seeing through him and it set off your red flag detector.

What kind of decent person would laugh about something like that?

If they literally think abusing you is funny it's time to cut ties.

I'm kind of a difficult person sometimes, Canbot, I don't particularly want to throw away anyone who will put up with me.

The fact you are a difficult person is likely due to your upbringing though.

You can get stuck at a certain emotional age until you work your way through it.

Maybe he thinks it helped you build character? Especially if you've done well since leaving home.

He doesn't believe what happened was wrong, Bruiser is a funny nickname to him.
