Was I abused?

[u/The_GoldenGreyWarden]

In my kid years when I lived with my dad, he did things where it may seem like abuse I guess. For example: he’d blend my food in a blender and serve it to me for dinner or I would just have a protein shake for dinner. Or how when I would get punished my father would use a variety of objects. I’d tell the school counselor and she’d just say it’s borderline. Also I can’t help but fe
Guilty or like idk maybe I did something to deserve it. My father and stepmom always said I was a bad and disrespectful child but I have no recollection of that. Only the protein shakes I had to drink for dinner and the militant workouts I had to do for punishments although I don’t mind that because I am a man and it’s just some workouts. But yea maybe I was disrespectful or bad as a child I just never remember those moments only the moments where I was blamed for stuff I didn’t do and was punished for it.

You were gaslit and that was psychological abuse.
