You’re not overreacting. Your parents doing this to you is traumatic no matter when it happened or how severe it is. It can cause a lot of damage mentally.

If they ever do it again I’d take pictures of any bruises and document when and where it happened as well as what was happening during that time so you have evidence of the abuse. I can’t say 100% anything will be done because I know the system can be messed up, but it’s good to have that evidence.

Remind yourself that at least for the moment you’re safe and didn’t deserve what happened. Remind yourself that there are good people out there that loge and care about you no matter what.

The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
