I know this may sound weird but I don't like referring to you as my abuser. Even though you were abusive towards me I feel as though calling you my abuser takes away from all the good memories we shared. You were more than an abuser you were my first friend you were someone who I cared so deeply about and who I loved so deeply. I'm not trying to romanticize abusive relationships or situations. I think you're more than an abuser. I know that you had a shitty life and that your dad abused you that's why you abused me. Maybe I don't want to label you as an abuser because that means I have to admit that I was abused. And that means I have things to work through that I have yet to deal with and I don't want to bring those things up.
