perhaps if I was brave enough (and left my parents a little earlier than I did), I wouldn't have been abused so much in a physical sense

saying that though they made it impossible to leave and I have been abused in other places, so I don't know.

I guess one of the things I do as well is dwell on stuff

so hard for me to move forward when I've been hurt (even if it's something small)

I guess that never helps the situation.. knowing that the past is the past, but you still bring it up and make a big thing out of it
