@lily.orr0: when I was ages 8-12 I wasn't fully mentally abused I just had to watch my step parents and my bio parents ague all the time and sometimes it was physical abuse and had to watch my parent get hurt at a very young age (I didn't get physically hurt) but I obviously shouldn't had to watch that all the time. all of this was ages 8-10, so I was so scared all the time. ages 10-12 I had to hear arguing all the time ( no physical abuse) but I was always scared incase of seeing my parents getting hurt. this is all over and has been for 2 years and is ok now.
