Who are you?!?!

Like I said before, the isolated incidents don't start with hitting. They start small and get bigger and more aggressive over time. If small abusive things start and the person doesn't actually get hit until a year or two later, that's a long span of time in which to escalate things slowly. There are massive emotional issues that go along with abuse. I guess it's difficult to understand if you havn't watched it happen.

I'll admit, some of the people abused don't have the courage they should, but it's the same situation in that case with a bully at school. They don't feel they're strong enough to stand up and protect themselves. Some people will always be weaker. It's the way of the world.

For years I was abused by my mother who used to spank me. Yet, when I was only 9 years old I was already fighting back. I'm the only person nowadays who can keep my her under control. I've been through that sort of situation so I know very well what it's like. People who let themselves be abused are weak and it's because they're weak that they're abused. It doesn't matter if it's a bully at school either, I used to fight all the time with guys way bigger and way older than me. I was hit but you can be damn sure they were hit as well. People need to stand up for themselves!
