Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Male, 28, St. Louis, MO. I was sexually for two years up until age 9 by my uncle (dad's side), when the police raided his house. Shortly after my mother divorced my father and began dating guys who were physically/verbally abusive. During this time my mother scolded me when I brought up the fact that her boyfriends didn't treat her well. I must have learned to stuff my anger, which I still have today. She is still in an abusive relationship, which pushes me away from her.
