Was just talking with my psych, apparently the way my mother treated me growing up is considered abuse, just not the physical type. It really fucks with your head when you grow up with that sorta treatment.
Either way, don’t settle for abuse. Keep notes about incidents times, dates, what happened, any photographic evidence of bruises from beatings. Go see your local police if you trust them, if not try to look up any youth assistance groups.
Just keep learning new things and decide which things you want to continue to chase.

Of course you gotta do stuff to pay the bills now, but don’t let people destroy your ambitions for the future.
