Hi and here’s a hug (()).
We probably will all read your whole post and recognise parts or all of what you’ve experienced as the same abuse we’ve been subject to too.
Don’t have any doubts. Your mum as best friend are right. This is abuse and I think you probably know it too. You don’t have to be beaten physically to be a victim.
It’s tough when you get to accept it, but you’ve taken a really big step in writing this down.
I’d suggest talk to helpline. They are so heloful. Think about how you can free yourself from the constant belittling and digs and how you can find a way to leave the eggshells behind.
It will be tough now realisation has struck but put yourself and child first. Life doesn’t have to Be what you are living at the moment.
Sending love and hugs and I’m so glad you’re mum and friend are there for you. We all need caring people in our lives xx
