It is good to see you are talking about this challenge. It is a very hard thing to do at first. It can also present some anger because I can see it is unresolved. I can tell you that once you open up more and more and allow yourself to be validated for how that has challenged you, it will be empowering. Often when these challenges take place, one's own family doesn't want to acknowledge it, which makes it even harder. These are things therapists understand and learn about and hear from many patients. They are also very aware that it is very hard for their patients to talk about too. They "know" you are not lying too.
