I was severely abused as a child. My focus as a child was on survival. My parents are dead, one of which was suicide. I have PTSD as a result of the abuse and probably other mental illnesses of mine are a product of abuse. My brother has narcissistic traits, is a violent felon and is an addict. He also abused me as a child. I don't know where he is or even if he is alive. I'm a survivor.
