You guys know i watched dr phil the other day. He had a hoarder mom on who had a 12 yr old kid, and the womans parents, ie the grandparents. The grandparents were out to lunch! "We didnt know anything bad happened to her!"
Anyway, dr phil says, your house is what your head looks like inside - trash, junk. I was like, yep, exactly. Some people might overcompensate like with gold toilets (

) others of us project. Theres no room for me here, only room for trash. But i pay the g.d. rent, how is that fair??
Anyway, just saying, it was hard to hear from dr phil of all people. But he was describing the woman's relationship with her abusers, and with her parents who never acknowledged the abuse. Also my family's attitude towards me.
