Considering you have never been in the same situation and never been in contact with anyone who had, you wouldn't really understand. The OP can either spend thousands of dollars on therapy or she can help herself out of this. Her description of the abuse is actually way less worse than I expected. What the OP need to do now is stop feeling sorry for herself, it is only making things worse. She got a few hits and some verbal abuse, so what? Millions of people experience physical pain from illness and disease, death, and poverty. She has a good. She has a bf and she is safe. She has to stop identifying with the past which does not exist.
