I have survived a lot of abuse from family and how I disclosed in therapy

[Invisiblewoman]

Instead of the painful process of disclosing bit by bit, I wrote up a brief history in bullet points, along with supporting documents like court records that indicate one of my perpetrators was successfully prosecuted.

In doing this I realize that my immediate family poses an imminent risk to my safety and wellbeing, if they are to ever be in contact with me. Their behaviour ranges from slander, emotional, and physical abuse and even death threats from one member. One of my relatives even lied about my abuse case and tried to brainwash me into believing it, and then frame me as lying. I suspect they have some form of a personality disorder. Another relative has been labelled a sociopath by the people he has victimized.

whenever I dealt with one particular family member I felt constantly invalidated, as they made false allegations against me. They repeatedly accused me of lying, to project their behaviour onto me. I remember being afraid of someone, and getting screamed at. A story was made up. It did not matter if they didn't witness anything; I would be framed as attention seeking.

I was often treated badly,  especially if there was some sort of crisis. This is the primary reason why I chose no contact. It is a consistent pattern with my family.

They also seemed to demand a win-lose relationship where they demanded unreasonable access to my boundaries and tried to expose my address. My reaction to them was framed as attacking and abandoning them, despite risking my personal safety by giving out my address to my abuser.

No one has to hit you to be abusive.

I'm sort of proud for getting away from them.

If someone aggressively and frequently accuses you of lying, it might be projection.
