I am sorry Tinna that you had to go through that. It isn't fair. Every child deserves a good upbringing but many of us didn't get it. I wasn't abused but I was neglected. Why us? Because our parents were messed up. Why were they messed up? Because their parents were messed up. You are going to break the cycle because you are getting help!

I am so glad that you have come to the point where you are no longer scared or embarrassed! Good work! Anger is certainly a normal reaction. Whatever you are feeling is valid.

I was angry at my mom until I realized that she didn't neglect me on purpose. She had a lot of problems. My situation doesn't apply to your situation, however, because it is different. I am sure that you are working with your therapist on this.
