I will often ask my T if what I have experienced as a child is normal because it seems so normal to me. She'll often ask me exactly what your T asks you, that is, "Would I do that to my husband or children?" And my answer is always no.
I think, on some level there is a part of us that understands that it's not ok, or 'normal' , or whatever you want to call it, so we don't continue that behavior in our own homes.

Wow, thank you so much for this, karebear. I thought I was the only one that felt this way, that some of the things that happened to me, not gonna get into specifics, but just some things, were normal. And a part of me does think that because they happened to me they are normal, like they are just a part of my life and that's that. And that is part of why it's so hard for me to talk about them, because I don't want to be complaining about something that's normal. And I do guess that a part of me does understand that it's not normal, but a big part of me thinks it is normal. This just really spoke to me, b/c I thought I was the only one that felt that way.
