I recently went through a horrific end to an abusive relationship I wasn't really facing, she tried to strangle me 3 times over 2 different nights. This led to me getting trauma therapy through my college and FINALLY the right person to really go for it and help me DIG into the family dynamics that set me up to allow/accept that treatment.
My parents are both gone, and while I have made peace with them as elderly folks and love and miss them...I can still look at the generational dynamic of bullshit that rolled downhill at took me in it's wake.
So congrats for not succumbing to the pressure of others bullshit and abuse! Glad you are here to weather another year 
Even though the next 4 years will be bumpy to say the least.
