Yes... but there's such thing as EXTREME exaggeration (which I believe MANY have done here). Many jump on the band-wagon of "abuse", and turn things totally into MUCH more than it really was (distort).
Also, anger is understandable when someone wrongs you, HOWEVER, holding onto it 10, 20, 30 years later?!?!? As intensely as I've seen people post here?? COME ON! You're only hurting yourself! WHAT will it take for you to OWN up to your OWN feelings/issues and process back to a HEALTHY lifestyle?! Please DO IT!
