I was emotionally abused for years. I didn't know it. Toward the end, I responded by emotionally abusing back.
I was raised to believe that abuse was hitting. Nothing else. I stayed in an abusive situation for a long time because I didn't know it was abuse. I thought it was normal.
I just wanted to point this out in case there are others out there like me, who don't recognize emotional abuse because it has been an accepted part of life for so long.
