There are many problems faced by people experiencing abuse:
Self esteem/ self perception is one of them.
The only reason we can be affected by someone’s insults and words is if on some level we believe they are right, and we have such a low perception of ourself.
This does not mean that the reason you are being abused is your fault, it does mean that you have the power to change it!
What voices are you running in your head? We all have these voices the difference between someone successful and someone who believes thay are not is what the voices are saying and whether how listen to the negative voices. Some negative voices warn us of danger, others are often that of family and friends trying to keep us safe. The problem with these family and friend voices are they often stop us from making choices that have a perceived risk, without allowing us to make these decisions ourself they may be taking away our opportunity to develop and grow on our own.
