You WERE abused. Witnessing spousal abuse is a form of emotional abuse. I commend and applaud your mother's courage to get herself and you children out of that abusive environment. The link I've included under witnessing shows that what happened with your brother is not unusual, especially under the section titled Impact of Witnessing Spousal Violence. You said you developed anger management issues (temper), but that you've been working on that: I commend and applaud YOU too, Lisa, for recognizing the destructive force of a temper and doing something about it. Not only will you benefit from "calming down", but most importantly, your children will benefit beyond what one can even imagine. You're teaching them something extraordinarily valuable when you calm yourself. Keep up the great work! As for your brother, he has to be ready to help himself before anyone can help him. When he's ready, you'll be there for him, I'm sure. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

I cannot understand this when I read, hear, or am told it by women the young and not so young in realtionships: (love) To me it is a total contradiction of any real form of a loving relationship no matter what level this relationship is at: Sadly in most horrific houses families the children suffer the same indignity and harshness of beatings and humility: You and your brother were saved that: Please read Darlene's comment: she sure has professionally and with her huge womans heart given you real help, support and loving advice; Yet the fear of hearing your mother's screams and beatings has to have it's effects on you and your brother: Do speak with a counsellor: have friend or two who will hug and cuddle you from time to time when you relate what these effects may be having on you: Well done for searching for and finding this safe place to tell the truth about what went on in your home: You are a brave woman Lisa: You had the courage and were strong to share it with Darlene and her empatisng visitors: Be safe: stay safe: Hi one sure way to have real friends and many aquainatances is to be part of team activities: in your community: Don't be shy in showing off your giftedness, tallents, and leadership qualities: Take partin sporting and cultural activities: Lisa I guarantee you will know the differece it will make in your life: Have a healthy mind in a helathy body: LET YOU NEW MOTTO BE: I will: I can: I must because I am worth it: Why Lisa??? because I am WORTH it: I'm special and I love me: go on give yourself a hug and a cuddle looking at that me looking out at you from the mirror:Be gentle and kind in your positive thinking about yourself:
