If you're from an 'abusive family', do you think you have a sixth sense about other people who were abused?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) January 20th, 2015

My father physically abused my mother and sister.
My mother, in turn, abused my father and my sister mentally and emotionally.
I mainly had the fallout.

Today I feel like I can spot victims of abuse, but I can hardly walk up and start a conversation about it.
I try to cut them more slack, if there’s a problem or conflict.

If you’re from abuse can you spot abuse?
