I was far more naive. (How much my naiveté is a function of my upbringing is another subject.) It was not until I was a young adult that I suspected my parents' relationship was anything but normal. It took me even longer to consider my mother might have what I now see as a personality disorder.
Some of the important people in my life - grandparents and a few friends - also influenced me to share their view of the sacredness of parents and my duty to honor them. Modifying my views and attitudes has been long and unsettling.
Thank you, Cielpur.
