    I’m really sorry to hear that you had to go through that, and you can tell me to fuck right off if you don’t want to think about it, but you got me wondering.

    Do you think if you went back, you could use what you know today to prevent/avoid it and see how that changes your life?

        I was gonna say the same. If I had to go back the only change I would make is avoiding the cops, school councilors, relatives, and judges I thought I could trust. Every attempt we made to get away from our mom made the beatings worse.

          Thanks for sharing. I never went through anything like that, and it really says a lot that even with an adult mind, you wouldn’t know what you could do or want to risk trying. Hope you’re doing well now.

        Might be different because my abuse was psychological and covert sexual rather than physical. But for me, the inner boundaries I’ve learned through therapy would make a world of a difference.
