Thanks for this and sorry for this.. I think it is quite common for the abuser and the people who knew about the abuse and did nothing to brush off the abuse or worse blame the victim for it. My parents always either blamed me for the abuse that my sister inflicted on me (I.e,, why you are not man enough to stand up to your sister) or brushed it off as a normal sibling rivalry. People ask me if we ever talk about it, and of course, if I raise it, I will get the same response. So, I never bother to bring it up.
I can relate to you being a member of LGBT, because I struggled with it for a while. I think I am now comfortable with who I am.
