It’s been over a decade since I’ve been in my severely abusive relationship, and me, nor my children from that relationship have ever been told by the abuser or their family/friends, that he was wrong, or that we didn’t deserve it. I’ve mentioned before that he’s never gotten into trouble for it, it’s as though he pretty much walked away Scott free. And, I watch my kids, even with all the years that have passed and the little things that remind me they still remember. And, I see myself, even though I have moved on reverting back to my survival skills in every situation. He lost custody of my kids very shortly after our “relationship” ended, if that’s what you could call it. It was more like warden and prisoner, and even the very few times — since they are adults now, that he’s spoke to them, he pretty much denies everything. He doesn’t validate their hurt feelings, or their mistrust with him, or even why they have no feelings for him besides fear. Personally, I don’t care if he gets in trouble anymore. I don’t care if he’s happy or not. I just sometimes think how nice it would feel to just have him forced into admitting he was and is still a horrible person, and that he truly did all of the horrendous things we said he did. Idk. Maybe I’m wrong?
