Thanks for the sentiments but I feel worse for you. NO CHILD deserves to grow up like that.
My kids were spared watching the physical violence because I kicked their father out THE FIRST time (made sure it was the last) though they grew up watching me cower and take verbal insults constantly - my bad. Working hard to "fix" what was broke in me in the first place to allow that to happen.
My exhusband was the only "love interest" that had become violent with me, the previous were (for the most part family). Sorry, I forgot about the one time I got beaten unconscious in a night club by a dude. Yea, he was a REAL big man beating down a 5'3", 120# female. From what the bouncers told me I went down after the first punch (I dont even remember being hit the first time) then the asshole actually got on top of me and continued to punch me with a closed fist while kneeling on my chest and holding me by the shirt.
To this day I will recall though the feeling of what it was like to be hit that way (I guess it happened so many times in my life). There is a low "thud", kind of like when you pound cold meat with your fist.
I suffer serious short term memory loss as a result. It's funny how there are certain things I'll never forget (I am REAL GOOD at Jeopardy LOL) but other simple facts escape me. ie: I am CONSTANTLY "losing" my car in the parking lot.
