Scooter also came from an abusive home. He spent a lot of his first few months under my bed but eventually when he found that he had nothing to fear he became more confident. You will probably never know what scares him and you probably don't want to know. He'll get better, just give him lots of quiet love. I know you want to take him and hug him and one day you can but for now just take it at his speed. Lots of luck with the little sweetheart.
