Something that I don’t know that I made clear in my last post is why it is such a big deal to get this validation. My mom and sister are really good at crazy making. They deny reality. If you have never lived with people like that you can’t really understand in your gut. “Oh you poor thing. I’m so sorry you were molested” turns into “Oh. So you were molested?” Then it morphs again into, “I don’t know what you are talking about. That isn’t possible. You should stop talking.” That can take as little as about 15 minutes.
Why things feel rocky.
