I can relate. I grew up in a verbally abusive home and became a mute and deeply traumatised by this daily injury from which I couldn't protect myself at all. I also was paralysed by fear to fight back and retreated from life altogether by crippling depression and anxiety. I honestly only in my 40s am now starting to heal. But my life has been lost to fear of more people that want to hurt me(in my mind as a trauma response).

Keep going. Your humanity is proof of the truth of all humans being God's children. Don't believe the mainstream narrative and seek other people that are like you. If you are in Israel it must be incredibly hard to exist there. I say this as a Muslim that struggles with the apathy of the Muslim countries that turn a blind eye to the evil being perpetrated against the Palestinians. I want to scream at the leaders in rage to overcome my own inadequacies and helplessness.
