((whoswho)) I to have had these thoughts that I'm going insane. Growing up it was really intense living with my parents and I would always question my perception of reality. The reason I questioned my perceptions is because the way I was being treated didn't make sense to me. Logically I didn't do anything wrong to deserve such treatment... and yet I would try harder and harder to be invisible... to not be seen so I wouldn't be hit.

My mom has a different version of reality. A version that she needs to have for her own sanity I believe. I'm betting you aren't insane just as I am not insane. Wishing you much peace (((((whoswho)))))
