My childhood abuser is my mother. she physically abuse me which was fair punishments, But being a single parent, I think she definitely had moments where she took it too far.
I was misdiagnosed with IBS at a young age, Was just nerve damage from me not using the toilet, We'd just moved from NSW escaping our "Abusive" "dad" and science partially backs up some kids don't adapt well to new changes, I happen to be one of them.
You can probably assume where this is going, It was punishment I wouldn't wish upon the worst, The sort of vile punishment you only hear in barbaric threats or see in uncensored movies.
My abuser is still alive, They've actually managed to spin the narrative around, Now she's seen as the perfect mother.
She's not a bad person though, And she knows what she did was terrible and it eats away at her morality, She's apologized to me for it but I just quickly excepted because the nature of the abuse is so disgusting, I really do try to repress it.
My Mother has liver problems now, Doctors gave her 2 years left to live.
It shouldn't come as a surprise but after the abuse, I stopped being light handed, I guess in every way apart from physically, I'd become an emotional abuser which is still no better... I just wish I was strong like everyone else here, No therapy, No reporting... Or else everyone will know what happened to me.

Thank you so much I'll keep on this site.
I wanted to put this behind me, I noticed people here tend to confront themselves but in all honestly... I only wake up to myself, I only for pity for myself.
Willing to just crawl up and taken off the senses.
