[quote=Anonymous]I was not but my husband was. It was extremely damaging in so many ways. Over the years it resurfaced like a whack-a-mole game at differen life points. Besides the physical violence there was gaslighting and just overall cynicism and pain in that family. His father is a tyrant and his mother is cold and probably unhappy in her marriage but who knows; they are both monsters. The main thing it caused was his extreme anxiety, constant vigilance and worry and I think this even damaged his health. I had no idea what this could do to a person and now know all too well. We don't see them and that's for the best. They never contacted us or acted like they cared even when we "saw" them. They are the most selfish people. I think they should never have had children and if they had been born a few years later, they would not have. They resented having to take care of their kids and it was made clear to all. If I had it to do over, I would not marry someone who came from severe abuse. It is no joke.[/quote]
