Chevy Chase says he will never forgive his parents.
Chevy Chase will never forgive his mother and step-dad for the tortuous beatings he received as a child. Chase admits he lived in “deathly fear” of his mentally-ill mother Cathalene and stepfather because they subjected him to regular psychological torture.
In his new autobiography I’m Chevy Chase . . . And You’re Not, he claims his mother once slapped him “continually and hard, across the face. I don’t remember what it was for, or what I had done. I lived in fear all the time – deathly fear.
“I always turn to it in my mind…I’ll never forgive them. At their graves I didn’t. It was too hard for me. You would think a grown man could shake it off, as the coffin was being lowered, to say, ‘I forgive you.’ I don’t forgive.”

I’m totally going to read that book now. I am the same way, same childhood, and I will never forgive them for it.

I salute u dude! I will never forgive my mother. If I could kill her I would but havent got that spirit but the day she dies I will spit in her face in her coffin and leave celebrating. I was emotionaly abused and psychologically battered and its by God`s grace that I have tried to leave as a normal human being regardless of my past. But I tell u what? am still suffering big time emotionally. I always cry hidden away from my children. I am like a nobody. I feel sorry for myself, but try to put a brave face everyday. I am not cruel to my kids, I love them to bits that I even feel sorry for them for no reason.
