ugggg is right.

It must have been tough for you also, as well as for your brother.

to you both-

It's VERY hard being one that helplessly witnessed abuse and was too young or fearful, or confused, or numb struck to say/do a thing.

I often find myself wishing my mother would have hit me more instead of the tiny daycare toddlers she picked to take her anger out on. those tiny cries haunt the night(in my dreams), the TV(when I hear a baby cry) the stores (when I hear a baby cry)......
triggers...

hope you find some peace today.
