that behavior your mother did was crazy behavior and you had a right to all your feelings!

I read your post and my heart broke.

I feel your pain.

My aunt did similar things to me---said things and denied she said them.

Acted upset and said she wasn't.

I grew up not trusting my own perceptions and it is only just now that I have begun to do so.

Thank you for sharing what you shared---it was very validating for me and very courageous.

We need to break the rules of "no talk"!

We need to tell on our parents!

Because they DID hurt us.
