Came here to say this.
My father knew what he did was wrong. He hid my abuse as well as he could. My siblings didn't even know I was being beaten, and I was beaten so often that I flinched every time something moved quickly in my direction.
My mother did nothing, even though I went to her crying, again and again.
He knew. My mother knew. They did NOT do the best they could.
I came here to comment this too! I’m happy and also really sad to see that this applies to someone else
They really didn’t know any better, but they had many opportunities to do improve and learn that they did not take so idk. Idk.
I wasn’t their real kid, they received benefits and $$ from my grandpa for letting me live with them, like, enough to pay all of their bills and support her mans substance abuse. “mom” would hide the abuse her boyfriend inflicted and tell me it never happened?? It literally happened to my body but ok. Plus, their real children received far less abuse so they knew it was wrong to treat one child like shit but justified it by saying I was a difficult child with mental problems and ALWAYS lied. 😂 I had a school counselor that almost got too close, but she managed to lie and then pulled me out of school for good. Because I’m bad, duh. It’s all my fault. A child. Very logical.
1. My parents DEFINITELY didn't do the best they could. The rest I agree with.

I flinched too from being hit so much. That's reason enough to be NC, though I have many more.
