This one is hard for me as well. Both parts. Lack of feeling because I had learned how to live half alive (as the song goes), and also that not only did I not object out loud, I didn't even object internally to parts of it. I still have deep seated shame about that.
MKC - i am so sorry your mother did that to you and the kitten. I went and checked on my pets after reading it. And thanks for being willing to recount it.
There were things that I liked and knew were wrong. So what is there to complain about now?
And I don't know what more there is to say other than what I have already said.the more I talk, the more detached it all seems.
