What would you say to your abusers?
What kind of setting would you need to feel safe from them? How much would you question your own recollections or complicity in the abuse, especially to the degree you were young/vulnerable/in a position of relative power disparity when the abuse took place?

Just reading your comments, I appreciate that you want to have empathy, yet I can't escape the conclusion that you don't have a great understanding of the nuances behind how abuse actually happens, the dynamics of abusers and those they abuse, and the thoughts & feelings of victims. Perhaps try listening to someone close to you who has been harassed and/or abused at a level you deem worthy of empathy. I guarantee that there is someone close to you who fits that bill.
