the biggist impact it's had though, is probably associating talking about myself- and my feelings with abuse
it does not matter who it is.. but i'm constantly aware that if i say 1 word about how i'm feeling, i'll be abused some way (like my parents always used to do)
even if that person is in another country.. it's really awkward for me

No worries.
I'm sorry it caused you pain and confusion.
It could very well be far worse for you than it is for me. But talking can be cathartic. I'm sure you know. It's very painful for me as well (probably more so for you), but we can only prove you wrong about abusing you in any way by talking (of course, it doesn't have to be us).
Only thinking about it will (probably) help you. I'm sure you do anyway. Just don't create some Pandora's box.
