I know it's tough, but it really is all part of recovering from abuse. It really is 'normal' in that respect. It's even 'classic PTSD'. Unfortunately.
It's not an excuse. It's a reason.
The way I see it, is, when you've been hurt a lot, you get very self protective, and this can come out like a wounded animal, attacking to try and keep safe.
It's hard, it's deeply sad.
I know.
I've been there. I go there.
As you become more aware and self-observant, things can and do slow down some.
