No real physical abuse horror stories, just absence, absence of mental strength, i guess.
Growing up, as i tested spreading my wings, i found my parents just giving up so easily. Learning this, being the resourceful (asshole) teenager that i was, i learned i could get away with just about anything without much of a fight grom them, as long as they had their jim beam and chesterfield kings (dad) gilbeys gin and kent (mom) they were ok, and i was good to go.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. I hope you can find some compassion for your teenaged self, who was trying to manage a completely unmanageable situation without the benefit of a fully developed brain. If you're interested in a safe place to process, I can recommend the resources on adultchildren.org

So i guess i abused their abuse? Weird.
Thanks for making me ponder.
