Thank you for responding. I find it very upsetting to relive the past and have spent many years pretending that I had a great childhood, or at least the same as everyone elses. But I can see that the harder I try to ignore or not think about events from my past, to my disappointment, the more I do think about events. My parents are still alive and my sisters, who were also mistreated, prefer that I not rock the boat and cause any "upset-ness" with the folks. I will try to figure out how I should respond rather than react and be ready for the next trigger event. Thank you for your advice.
