My life has been so confusing for the past few years.
The things I thought I knew, turn out to be totally different.
When you're young, things that seem black and white aren't as they appear to be when you get older.
confused I know my wording is confusing, so I'm gonna
try my best to explain my own confusion.
Um...When I was younger, I always thought, a slap or a shove or even a punch was abuse. Plain and simple.
I mean, how could words hurt?
My mom got married shortly after the death of my brother
and I learned firsthand about emotional abuse.
The cops came to our old house so often,
they got visibly sick of seeing us.
It was always the same lead officer,
but sometimes he would bring rookies to learn how to deal with DV calls.
Our house pets hid in fear
and I slept with my tennis shoes on.
Yet, he only drew blood once
neutral Can my stepdad be considered abusive???
