it's quite possible, I suppose.

when I lived with my parents for example, and got abused on a daily bases, my mental health really suffered- not just because of the abuse, but because I had no one to listen to me or understand me, and I felt trapped

then I lived in several more abusive situations, and it stayed the same

where I am now (where I moved after I got evicted) is a lot better, and they don't control me as they did in previous places

it's a lot to get used too, and sometimes it's quite unwelcome (because I expect and deserve abuse), but as a result, my health is improving slightly

someone here is even trying to encourage me to lodge a complaint with my former abusers. I don't know if I'm going to do it (it's a lot to think about), but like they said though it might give me closure and peace, and that's what I need
