not sure about how well this fits in here but this is my own experience. i will start by saying my dad beat both me and my brother on many occasions through my childhood. was he an abusive father? definitely not. excessive perhaps at times but we knew he had a really rough childhood and this was how he was taught discipline was demonstrated. one night my parents went to a wine tasting and my dad had way too much to drink and became more drunk then any of my family had ever seen him. we suspect that a lot of issues from his childhood came out as he punched out several light globes, a birthday cake, most of his friends and he even hit my mum on the jaw. was his behaviour in any way excuseable? hell no. he had no memory of the previous night when he woke up and obviously had a lot of apologising and making up to do. is it possible for it to happen again? of course. all he needs to do is get drunk enough again and i guess it will end the same way. to combat this he will never drink more than one or 2 glasses of wine or will not have more than a beer, maybe 2 after working manual labour. it´s funny when i tell stories about my father and people always react about how horrible he sounds and they´d never want to meet him but i would never trade him for anyone and my mum or brother are in the same boat. and i´d go through the whole lot again to end up where i am no questions asked.
