I have been through severe abuse, and had just explained that to him and how my mom bullied me, in addition to abuse. I know a 'bit' what they meant, that you have to not have it affect you anymore, but sometimes theres no CHOICE in how abuse affects you.. I just could never say to someone who said they had a lot of childhood abuse that they need to 'move on'... what would u do/say to friend who said it?
