Hello everyone..I first came here to be of help to anyone that needed a friend but after reading some posts I now need help with some questions..Ok where do I begin?..lol...My Dad abused my Mom and my Brother very badly but as far as I can remember I was never hit..I was terrified of him and he would yell at me all the time..and I had to witness him beating my momma and was helpless to help her...she finally got brave enough to leave him when I was 13...and even as an adult he still intimidated me and made me feel worthless..the day he died i hate to say was not a sad day for me..a weight was lifted off but i still feel the effects of his hateful ways..but my question is this...I have read the horror stories on here of abuse and it makes me wonder if i was truely abused because what i went through was nothing compared to what u guys have been through..so..am i a victim of abuse?
