I was abused by my mother
That's terrible! What kind of abuse?
She kept telling me I couldn't do things and hit me.
That's terrible. It's probably a good idea to find a therapist to help you work through the abuse.
This was a long time ago, isn't it too late to fix it?
It's never too late to work out abuses. They can manifest later in life so it's important to tackle the issues now.
