Answer 8

Uhm..wow..you had a f*cked up childhood if your dad did that

Well...atleast you got to experence nature and be a part of it

Answer 9

   We misunderstand many things from our childhood.The anchor was a metaphor for stability, your father wanting you to remain and not be chewed up by the demands of the deep.Close at home, entrails and all.Therapy will help you through this. There is nothing fishy about this. Don't drag yourself through the muck.You are not a bottom feeder.Don't think of him as using you for an anchor or as your master. Bait him, and survive.

Answer 19

People tend to exaggerate things that happened to them when they were younger because they didn't really understand what was going on.  You're dad used you as an anchor?!  Maybe he was just trying to have fun with you by throwing you in the water!  Stop blaming your problems now on your parents.
