[ TW: abvse topics ] I know I shouldn't be one to say I went through a lot as a kid since others had it worse, but I did have a scrappy childhood to say the least. As a kid, since I was two, I was abvsed, verbally, physically, and emotionally. When my brother was born, when I was four, it got worse. Somehow I was always disappointing my parents and that led them to cursing me out all the time and eventually getting physical with me. As I got older, it got worse. At least at the end of 2022 it stopped.. At least the physical part. I'm fine now, but it's still sad to think about. Anytime I brought it up, their excuse was that is was "just discipline" and I was "just being dramatic". If it was " just discipline", I wouldn't have PTSD from it, would I? If little me saw me now, I think she'd be heartbroken..
