You were still abused
It’s still abuse if you fought back
It’s still abuse if you stuck up for yourself
It’s still abuse if you accepted gifts
It’s still abuse if they show you the good side sometimes
It’s still abuse if they went through a lot of trauma as a child
It’s still abuse if no one believes you
It’s still abuse if they cry
It’s still abuse if you were falsely arrested over a domestic dispute
It’s still abuse if people love them regardless of what knowledge they have of the abuse
It’s still abuse if they say sorry
It’s still abuse if sometimes they take accountability
It’s still abuse even if you still love them after
I hope this helps I love you 🤎
