Understanding this quote
The speaker describes a wrong committed by their father against them, calling it a “crime.” They then stress the contrast: they themselves have never committed that same kind of wrong against anyone. The statement therefore presents the speaker as receiving an injustice they did not inflict on others, without explaining what the specific crime was.
