I found youur post in chat. I saw some there saw they have had similar experiences, and some comments as well. As I read them all I could think was to quote you: "is this what normal is like?" And I think, sadly, yes. Although as I said in another comment, peoples experiences vary, but no one should ever fear for their safety at the hands of a parent or gaurdian. The empathtic me has a REALLY hard time with this. While your courage is really admirable, and I don't want to take away from your story by talking about others, I wish this was not such a prevalant experience for children.

Same here. Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. There are many hidden epidemics and I just wanted to shine a light on a few that I struggled with. You wouldn't believe how many others PM'd me saying they had been through similar things.
