Dear marv:

You are very welcome and thank you for your words of appreciation. I hope you continue forevermore your position against abuse. In efforts to reduce others’ sufferings, support distance between abuser and abused, so that the abuser does not have access to the abused. It is not realistic to expect an adult child who was abused by a parent as a child, to stand up to him as an adult. The abused needs protection first (distance/ no contact), before healing can be attempted.

Best wishes to you, post again, anytime it may help.
