Description

The author describes detailed and graphic instances of her parents physically and verbally abusing her. Her specific abuse, however, did not involve sexual abuse. The author mentions reacting angrily to a stranger grabbing her behind. There are multiple discussions about Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), and how many people who have it were sexually abused, sometimes as children.
