@Cj7, my mother was never abusive to me or my brothers, (that I know of) she saved that for my sisters. To my knowledge it was not sexual in nature either, (that was my fathers cross to bear) only physical and psychological.
The thing that left the biggest scar on my memory is the day my older sister (age 13) came downstairs wearing this really pretty dress for school. My mother tore it and her slip off her and said " good girls don't wear dresses like that to school" and then chased her out of the house in her underwear and locked the door behind her. Since we lived right across the street from the school, everyone saw her as she stood on the front steps crying pounding on the door and to get back inside.
Three years latter that same sister tried to kill herself because my father raped her. It was then that we all found out my father had been sexually abusing and raping his own daughters for almost 8 years.
My mother did the one humane thing she could have done and divorced the bastard. When my oldest brother came home on leave from the Army and tried to find him to revenge my sisters, but my father called the police and the MP's picked him up and returned him to base. Nothing ever happened to my father. He got away with it.
I know the horrors of what parents can do to their children. My wife's parents were no better, in fact, in many ways they were much worse
