I am so sorry that happened. My grandfather was violent with me when I went to visit during summers. Not abusive to my older brother, but a tiny young girl is who he chose to unleash his rage on. The worst he did was throw me on the bed, jump on top like a ninja and strangle me as I tried so hard to get out from under him. I will never forget his face, or the face of my grandma as she watched on in fear. Now my grandpa lives with my parents and I can't even visit them much because being in the same house as that man is too painful most of the time. My dad choked me with a jump rope, my ex husband and my brother.....all these men who hated me so much they wanted me dead. It's hard to move on from that, I must be really unacceptable for them to want to do this to me. I'm so sorry you went through this, that others have and that I have. How to trust people again? Will I ever be able to? The world abuses me like you wouldn't believe....the abuse never ends.
