> Once someone I didn't know very well mentioned, in context, that she didn't have a relationshp with her mother because she had been abusive, I found it perfectly understandable and acceptable. I said I was sorry to hear that, and we left it there, no big explanations, no judgments, no nothin'. You might get to that place. With your wonderful T, I think it's a pretty sure bet.
I am so happy that you can NOT judge someone like that. So many people judge me because I don't talk to my mother or have her in my life. They look at me like there is something evil I am doing by disrespecting my mother. Especially very relgious people who swear by the "Honor thy mother". Well I guess in a way she wasn't really a mother anyways. Thank you for supporting me. I guess I have a lot to talk about in therapy Monday, I hope my T is up to it.
