Abusive Relationship

I grew up with abuse, but it was normalized, it was the default of the family, an it was not seen as abuse. I only know was abuse, because in examples between dysfunctional families and healthy families, I resonate with the dysfunctional families, while I didn't believe that the healthy family was being real, almost like they're too nice to the point of being fraudulent. Of course, I've developed healthier relationships since then, but that's just how I thought when I was younger.

But my main point is that if this type of dysfunctional environment was normal to you somehow, then you might not pick up on "the signs" that other people might take notice of. Also, love has a way of blinding people, and you might excuse your partner's bad behavior because you still think highly of them. Taking some time to recover, will help you gain perspective about your circumstances.
