Hi Sarahsweets, I am sorry that you experienced this. Has your Mom ever met your needs in regards to validation and protection from your abusers? Even if only once? If so, did she flip-flop, or was she always protecting your abusers? I agree that sometimes abuse enablers are unaware of the abuse and simply act on ignorance. However, sometimes they do know. I don't know if one is worse than the other because they both hurt so much! But either way they are in the wrong.  Did you ever protest your maltreatment? If so, what happened? Did it get worse? Were you invalidated and blamed for showing anger and emotions that seemed disproportionate to the situation at hand (considering your mother didn't see the abuse). Thanks, HD7970ghz __________________ "stand for those who are forgotten - sacrifice for those who forget" "roller coasters not only go up and down - they also go in circles" "the point of therapy - is to get out of therapy" "don't put all your eggs - in one basket" "promote pleasure - prevent pain" "with change - comes loss" |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
