Sometimes a choice is forced.

Like when there are ethics involved. For instance:

Possible trigger:

my mother chose to 'not know' about her children being abused. I don't know for sure what dissociative disorder she has but she dissociated her sense of knowing about it and did nothing. There were times when she was confronted with that knowledge but then dissociated it again, allowing the abuse to continue unchecked for years. She chose to 'not know'.

In that scenario does anyone really have a choice about what to do?
editing this because of course a person has a choice about it. Just like our mother made her choice.

We're very sorry about the trigger. You folks have our condolences (Not that you would need it because we're sure you folks are doing well enough as it is but you folks have them.)
We can feel that one of us is hiding some kind of strong feelings for us as well. We've felt it for a while and we're sure if we asked him, he after a while would enlighten us on what it is. He would prefer that we didn't however. Anyway, we apologize for rambling on. Thank you for replying to our post.
