[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry your father and your family have reacted so terribly. When I came forward about physical abuse, I was told "we thought you were over it." I felt like I had two choices: to cut ties with all of them, which would be hard as I am single and have few supports, or to limit my contact with the formerly abusive person and interact with the rest of my family knowing they did not respect me and what I went through. I chose the latter, but it costs me a lot emotionally, especially at the holidays. Estrangement is painful, too. Unfortunately there is no easy answer.[/quote]
