Have you as an adult ever come to the realization that you were abused as a child when you thought it was just normal? Like being beaten?

Every family in the neighborhood did it to their kids so yeah it seemed normal back then. I went out into the world of work and after starting my own life looked around and saw how almost nobody treated their kids like that. Somewhere between 35-40 it dawned on me. You do the best you can , make sense of it and move on with your life.
