Who was the primary abuser?
Were you constantly put-down?
Were you listened to when you felt sad?
Were you rewarded for expressing yourself?
Did your abuser/s spin everything you said into it being about YOU, not them?
Rules: did you have to follow strict rules to make the family look good?
Were they always protective of what others would think?
Were you granted the gift of independence?
These are a few questions I would like you to think about, and respond. If these are uncomfortable issues I understand you not joining in the thread; but if they would be helpful for others who feel victimized, then please have your say here.
