Some might suggest that it is neither yours nor your parents fault. I not sure whether that is a cop out or not, but if your parents did not deliberately hurt you it can be very difficult to say they were abusive. In my case I believe my parents did the best they could raising me, though it wasn't enough. I have the right to be angry at my parents for that lack, but I don't consider it abuse. I'm not sure if that is a healthy response or not, but it is an idea.
I just wanted to say I am sorry you had to go through that. ((((Caroline))))
