Sorry I wasn't about last night to answer your posts, having fun with parents is more tiring than I remember and I was in a deep restful sleep. However....
What you have just done is MUCH more significant than you may realise. You have put yourself out there to be possible ridiculed (not likely on here, but you never know) or even just belittled with other stories of greater abuse. You still did it though. That demands a whole heap of RESPECT. You have that from me T, it's a tough thing to go through, but I actually think it's tougher to admit to the world that you lived through it.
It's out of your system now, there are no more skeletons to rattle you in the future. You will become a much better person for releasing that. You will be stronger as well.
Kudos to you T. You really are showing everyone the way forward
