Wow. How awful. I used to beg my parents never to use a belt on me the way one of my neighborhood's friend's dad used to. It scared the hell out of me. They said "what are you kidding?"
My cousin used to be in a relationship many years ago with a man whose mother was a concert pianist. He and his brother were abused too. It tweaked my cousin's ex's brain, the younger brother became a guitar prodigy and lives in Germany. I think cousin's ex is doing all right, but apparently his child is autistic.
