[quote=Anonymous]Hmm, not a 10, nowhere close. If it were a ten, what would be the category for people who lock their kids into cages or sell them into prostitution or starve them to death? Maybe the OP's is a 5? Though I am not sure what good ranking abuse does... I also grew up in an abusive household. Daily abuse, both emotional and physical, but mostly in the evenings, due to alcoholism. The worst physical beating could have killed me, but the emotional abuse was much more severe to me. Other parent in the room next door or in the basement, as usual. Yet from the outside, we appeared to have an idyllic childhood. I think abuse like mine or like the OP's, while severe, is much more common than we suspect. In my family, two uncles on both sides, are alcoholics, and in one case, I think my cousin's childhood must have been much worse than mine - but I don't know!! It is never talked about. Outsiders would think that my cousin was blessed with an ideal family and childhood.[/quote]
