I feel like I hate my abuser. Should I feel this angry?

I understand how and why you may hate your abuser. I have, to a degree, been in your shoes, and I know how it feels. You have every right to hold any amount of animosity towards this person - anyone in your shoes would feel the same way. You may or my not hate them, it's up to you to decide whether or not you do. We at 7 Cups cannot tell you whether or not you should or shouldn't feel a certain way; anger is a very common emotion that a lot of people may feel towards abusers, as well as hatred, wanting revenge and pain. It is perfectly alright if you feel any of these emotions - they are totally normal and you are fine to feel them.

There is nothing wrong with how you feel - especially if you are abused. What matters is how you react to your feelings. If you feel like you want to harm another person - even if they have done harm to you - please seek help from a professional.

You have every right to be angry, but more so, you should be concerned for your safety. Tell an adult you trust, or seek professional guidance. Once you recognize you are in an abusive situation, get out immediately. Talk to someone you trust to figure out what steps you can take to make that happen and be free of your abuser.

I believe more than the abuser you angry with yourself. Anger would only come if there would be any expectation. If the one who abused you is someone from whom you never expected any such thing then definitely your anger is justified but that person is someone whom you never knew then its more likely that you are with yourself thinking that " How could I let this happen to me?". I believe its very normal to have this kind of anger because its about your dignity, about your self esteem. Its a harm to the person you look in to the mirror every day. You need to start telling yourself that you'll never ever let this happen to yourself again n try to figure what all you can do to stop it or avoid it. Stay strong as the weaker you get the more prone you get to such things. Look people in their eyes and stand strong.

It is reasonable to be angry when someone has broken your trust and treated you unfairly. No one deserves to be abused. You have every right to be angry for what someone has done to you.

There's no should's with emotion. You feel the way you feel, what you feel is valid. You have the right to feel as you do. It's very natural for us to feel angry, even explosively angry when we have been abused. This is how the body responds emotionally when hurt.

Of course. It's perfectly normal to feel hatred toward your abuser! Try therapy, it may help you feel better.

Sometimes, it it an emotion we all feel, that person hurt you, I believe that it is a healthy anger because they had no right to violate your privacy.

There is no wrong response to what happened to you. You have every right to feel the way you do! If you find this anger too consuming, you can ask for support, either by loved ones, a therapist or an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. But your feelings have nothing wrong and you are not obligated to forgive in order to heal.

Angry for what was done, yes, and it is normal but make sure that this anger doesn't turn into hate. Hate is a silent poison and can cause you to go through emotions that you never knew existed.
