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?

No but my mom had a brain tumor. She was a good mom and would leave me lots of notes. Her tumor put pressure on her brain though and caused episodes like if I spilled on the floor or other things which made me constantly walking on glass.
I don't remember much about my childhood but I remembered my mom as perfect for a long time until I started remembering bits and pieces here and there. Took me awhile to figure out that was abuse in a way.
But it's kind of a double edged sword at the same time cos I couldn't exactly blame her as she had a tumor so it wasn't like I could do much about it. I know she didn't mean it most times.
With that said, with that experience I can totally see someone thinking abuse as normal. Deep down you feel like something is off or just odd but then you just shake it off thinking everyone does it or something.
