Hi - I'm new to this forum. I was physically, mentally, and verbally abused by both my parents all throughout my childhood. They're still mentally & verbally abusive toward me. The physical stuff stopped when I moved out of their house. I recently cut ties to my parents, I haven't spoken to them in 2 months. I'm feeling a lot less stressed since I stopped talking to them, but I'm so much more depressed since I've been thinking about how long they've been abusing me and how bad it really was. I think I really never wanted to admit to myself how bad the situation was or just never let myself think about it until now. I'm living with my SO of nearly 7 years and he's very supportive and he's good with listening to me vent or just get things out in the open. But I don't think he really understands because he's never been there.

I'm just rambling, I really don't know where I'm going with this post. I'm really glad I found this board.
