Are my parents abusive?

Hi I am a 15 year old from California I think my parents are emotionally abusive but I can't tell here's a timeline: at 8 years old I screamed at the top of my lungs and was somewhat physically violent and said horrible things like "I hope you die" or "I want to go to foster care" and in return my parents splashed water on my face and called me a brat. at 9 years my outbursts continued and I was called a brat in return and screamed back at. At 10 I developed an eating disorder and things were good conflict was low. At 11 they found out and said stuff like "you're so thin" and "you need to eat" and yelled during conflict and showed me pictures of scary thin women to scare me into eating they said do you want to look like this and eventually I got sent to treatment and it was really bad we were weighed naked and subject to a punitive level system and much more(they got sued later) but I came back at 12 and was angry I wanted revenge and my outbursts were worse and I said horrible things my parents said fuck you and called me a bitch and a brat and I used those insults back they also hit me in the face and pinned me and pulled my hair and this continued till 14 I got a PTSD diagnosis and I hid my symptoms cause they didn't care but got me therapy and now I am 15 with a mild hoarding problem and a fear of my parents is this abuse?
