ho4ld4en,
i have never really been physically abused but i have been sexually and emotionally abused by my brother. sometimes he would hit me and stuuf like that but it wasnt on a regular basis. and yes when you are abused it leads to a lot of problems like depression, self hatred and many more but it mostly changes your view on the world. maybe with therapy you can learn to deal with what happened. i dont really have much advice because im barely getting by myself but i do know that you cant do it alone. so im here if you need to talk and please stay safe.
