Possible Child Abuse?

...See more Hey, it's Rem you might recognize me from my forum post on assault a few days ago? I wanted to make this post because I'm not sure but I think I faced abuse as a child? first off, I know I am far better off than others in this forum. My parents always have me everything I asked for and we rarely ever got hit. But the thing is, my parents also weren't the kindest parents. They thought they caught my older sister using her tablet to play when we were kids and they smashed it to pieces with a hammer. She hadn't even been playing with it. My mother used to drip molten candle wax on our hands whenever we lied until I was 10. Anyone of us caught misbehaving would be locked in the balcony or the living room, depending on how bad we were, for hours at a time in isolation. My father once threatened me with a knife for arguing with him when I was 8. It gives me nightmares 8 years later. At this point my sister and I rely on ourselves and each other to raise each other more than we do our parents. aside from that, emotional manipulation was, is rampant here. Anywhere from "you are a disappointment to me" to "you refuse to get better grades because you've never loved me or cared about my happiness" to "I want you to hit me for ever trusting you to be anything but useless" Am I crazy?? Because I feel like there are a couple red flags here but also, they give me everything I need and want. I just want to know if I'm over reacting or if I have a reason to be upset

...See more Hi. I'm new here. Call me Rem. I thought that maybe I could share my story so far? when I was 5, my parents hired a Molvi. A Molvi is basically the Islamic version of a priest. He'd memorised the holy Quran and was hired to teach me and my sisters the same. he was a pedophile. Not that I'd known at the time. He would touch me...every where. I can't think of a single part of my body he hadn't touched at one point or another, over or under my clothes. It had always made me uncomfortable, but I'd been raised to listen to adults without question, so I never brought it up. Until I was 10, on occasion he'd make me touch his p*nis as well. this molesting continued till I was 12, when I'd found out my older sister had to deal with that as well, though by that time she'd quit since she'd already finished it. I had no such luck. I tried to keep him away after that but he was very insistent. He never r**** me though. I don't have it as bad as many others here. It continued again till I was 14. At that time I'd found out that not only was I a victim of his, by so was my little sister. For about a week I took the brunt of the damage for her, until I'd had enough. I grabbed his arm and twisted it till he swore he'd never lay eyes on her again, and we told our mom about all of it right after. He got fired. As of next month, that will have been 2 years ago. As of next month, it will have been 3 months since he died of a heart attack
