whoswho I grew up this way. My mom was always in denial and there were many times I felt like I was going crazy (to this day she says I was a goody two shoes and she never spanked me or had to punish me??? - WTH- Really??? In my head I say... the daily beatings and being kicked, punched etc.. don't jog your memory??? but I digress ). Growing up I would often call friends while crying and telling them what I just experienced because I couldn't figure out what the hell just happened (I would get picked apart for doing something?anything was a reason for my mom to hurt me physically, verbally or otherwise - no matter the lack of logic on her part over literally nothing in any sane persons mind). I needed to tell someone before it left my memory or I lost my memory. Several years later said friend would tell me some of the things I told her when I would call her crying and it was like she was talking about another person and thought that really happened??? I hope this is making sense

Many hugs ((whoswho)). Wishing you peace.
