Hermann Brusselmans talks about aggressive father in ‘The House’: ‘My brother and I beat him when we were old enough’ | television

Hermann Brusselmans comes from a family of cattle traders. During his youth, he was constantly surrounded by cattle to slaughter, but that’s not what made his childhood so difficult. It was his father who did not make young Hermann’s childhood easy. “My father beat his wife and children and threw chairs through the windows. When my brother was 16 and I was 14, we thought he should stop. Then we both beat him,” Hermann says frankly. “My mother was angry with us, even though we We did it to stop her misery. After that, my father became an actual lamb, because he knew that his children were stronger than him.

During “House” Herman reveals his heart. For example, he also talks about his father’s qualities. Because even though he never wanted to inherit her, he sometimes recognized some of his father’s qualities in him. “I can also be aggressive. Never physically, but verbally. I can be a real jerk. When I get angry, I start cursing those close to me. The difference with my father is that I immediately express remorse and then everything goes back to normal again.”

“The House” can be seen on Mondays at 8:40pm on VRT 1 and VRT MAX.
