Making a list is a little difficult, but I'll try
1. Mom - Verbally and physically abusive due to mental illness
2. Grandpa - physically abusive, never sexually touched me, but he did watch me dress when I was a teen by standing with my door slightly open looking in. (Mom never let me lock my door)
3. Uncles and Aunts - Physical and verbal, they told me how lazy, bad, worse I am than my brother or their children. My aunt would watch me be beaten by my Mom.
4. Cousin - Attempted to sexually abuse me at age 11, I got away.
There's so much back story to these people and why they abused. I've forgiven my Mom, she is sick. I sort of understand what was going on for my Grandpa, the rest of my family...I can only hope to express how angry and disappointed I was one day.
