I NEED SOME ANSWERS TO THIS QUESTION!? When I was young getting torture and abuse by my family, all they did?

people that are abusive have literally never felt a sense of security, etc. They live that lifestyle in that mindframe that they get a house without putting up doors/windows. They hurt the people closest to them because they don't want anyone seeing their true selves (insecurity, etc) or getting close enough to see their true selves. And you happened to be the smartest person in the house
