I'm sorry you have experineced this bpd but yes, this is most definately sexual abuse. The kid, who was much older than you would be the abuser. As well as the parent for watching a kid hit you and laughing at it, that would be physical and emotional abuse. The child however, try to remember, was only 12 and was a child as well. Although he was the abuser, at the time he was not an adult, not fully aware of the consequences of his actions or the pain inflicted on others through him. Although he was your abuser and it was painful, the real problem comes from how he was raised for him to be doing such things at such an early age.
I wont assume I know how he turned out... But from third parts perspective, what you mentioned above was abuse in its most raw form. I'm sorry you had to endure it. No matter whose situations are "worse" than yours it does not take away from your situation, or from your pain. Childhood abuse has a nasty way of sneaking up on you, changing you and influincing your mental state a lot more than people realize. I mean what can you expect... When at a young age when your head is supposed to be full of unicorns and rainbows and barney, finding out it's full of anger violence pain and people always wanting to take from you... It causes long term damage, but thankfully damage that can be healed over time with help from a therapist! The best of luck to you and I am so sorry for your pain!
