When I hear stories about woman who just went through one incident and that this was physical abuse towards them mainly by a guy I can't help but think that's it.
If I only had been beaten once or twice in my life and lived through it I would probably not be so lost and broken.
I grew up around abuse. Sexual, Mental, Physical abuse for 17 years of my life. I'm sometimes amazed by how strong I must be, but most of the time I just feel weak and mentally wacked.
When I was little a family meal always ended up with my stepdad and brother on the floor in a physical altercation.
The sexual abuse that went of for years.
My older brother that was way bigger would constantly beat on me. Never getting punished.
My other stepfather full fisted punched me in the back of my head. Making me unconscious for a few moments. It was not the first or last time of that.
And I could go on but won't.
It's not a comparison of whose abuse was the worst. I just wish mine was less and I would trade places in a second with the ones that only got it a little bad.
Everyone has the right to share and talk about their abuse. I guess I just need to keep that in mind.
I hope everyone heals quickly and learns to cope.
