⚠️TW CHILD ABUSE and mention of sa⚠️
.
when i was little i used to live with my aunt, her boyfriend and my mom.
my aunt had some serious things going on, her and my mother were abused by my grandma since they were kids and she didn’t quite know how to control her emotions. she got mad pretty often and me being a relatively noisy kid didn’t help at all, so when she was mad she hit me, pretty hard with big rings on her fingers. she always said that i deserved nothing in the world while hitting me to tears, until i was begging her to stop, i was like 4 or 5 at the time. i remember one time when i ran to the bathroom after she punched me in the face, i couldn’t breathe. my mom came to the bathroom to hug me and i cried.
she eventually did therapy and got better, now she’s like a mental health professional (now she’s married to a guy who sa’d me since i was 9 but that’s another story). don’t get me wrong, i love my aunt and she did apologize, but i can’t stop thinking about four years old me crying and screaming for help on my favorite chair while she was beating me up. am i wrong for being slightly angry at her?
