I'm so sorry.
Why are people like that to their own family members? Or ANYONE? My mother once told me that I must have done SOMETHING to deserve being bullied the way I was. I never felt like they were trying to understand what I'd had to suffer through. I never felt validated by them. It was like they were trying to find some "reasonable explanation" as to why I had been treated so badly by other people.
Why do people feel the need to shame and blame the victim? What do they get out of doing that? Does it serve a purpose? Does it help anyone? I will never understand.
