Here are two wrongs I want to correct.
First, you may be told by your abuser and his family and friends that if you report the abuse you will cause the breakup of the family. I want you to know, that is a most twisted concept. You are the messenger reporting the one that caused it. The results are to be laid solely on the abuser and those that coddle that type of behaviour.
Secondly, you may feel that you are bad because reporting abuse must mean you are vindictive and you only want to be good. You need to learn how to be angry at what is wrong. This is part of maturing. You will not be able to please everyone.
Abusers want you to be happy with them so they can keep getting away with abusing. Be angry at that. Those who remain silent allow evil to flourish.
