i completely understand that this isn't nearly as bad as what people who are truly abused go through, i hope you all don't think im trying to compare or anything.

Ohhhh, nooooo....I hope my story didn't make you feel like that! As I learned when I worked in Hospice, there's no way to "compare" one situation as being "better or worse" than another. The main thing is how it affected *you*.

I tend to be long-winded but my objective in my post was to try to lend a small bit of encouragement and understanding to what you went/are going through.

Please forgive me if it didn't come off quite right.
