I grew up with thousands of events of various kinds of abuse from age two onward until I was 19 and physically escaped from the parental units who saw me as property they could sell and use as they pleased . Took a whole town to do it. But they got me out and on my feet and healthier. I am physically disabled by the abuse but I am stable even though a bit haunted and somewhat limited by that past. . I dont think it is how many times one has been traumatized but the impact it had on the person. And that is very individual.
