Maybe just for me to acknowledge the abuse might just help me, I really do think she knows she is being abusive..I mean hitting someone to see how they react is provoking and being abusive, so either she is stupid or just turning a blind eye.
I don't agree with condemning the abuser because if she has any conscience it will be enough that she will feel a little guilty about all she has done to me and my siblings.
