I am feeling like I am not even a human being to my abusers.

I am sorry you are feeling this way PumpkinPieHead. Abusive individuals are very complex and they never really got their own needs met. It isn't that you are not human or don't deserve to be recognized and respected, often the truth behind abusive individuals is that they simply never learned "how" to value others and often they lacked in how they were raised themselves.
Thanks for this!

Thankyou, open eyes.

The trouble is, my abusers are my siblings and parents. Particularly the siblings. We kids were abused and neglected. To say that we never learned how to value others is very true! However, why did I learn and grow? Why are they still the same, the spitting image our Mom and Dad.
I actually realized today that my sister makes me feel the same now as my Dad did, as a kid. I'm in a stupor at this realization.

A lot of abuse/neglect/dysfunction begins in the home/family. Yes, it's not unusual to have a sibling that imprints a parent's dysfunctional behaviors too. We are designed to imprint.

Are you the youngest? Oldest? Middle child?

Open Eyes: Would you say that blaming the parent is an excuse for someone not to value others?

Why is it some siblings turn out to be good people and one turns out to be an abuser? Did they inherit a bad gene? Are they going to pass this down to their own children? I feel bad for the children of abusers.
