> i totally understand. my mother was psychologically abusive to me and really messed me up. i many many times wish she would pound the cr@p out of me, mostly cuz it's tangible and then others could finally believe she wasnt as perfect as they all thought. neglect is often thought of as invisible abuse...it happens but all we see are the results. no cuts, bruises, infections, just pain.
Oh, you touched me with those ideas. Oh boy.
No evidence. Nothing left behind. Just the psychological aftermath. Somehow, that ends up getting hung on the victim. Weak character? Bad attitude? Poor social skills?
If I'd lost my arm, instead of my brain, my spirit, my soul..... Perhaps one of the greatest losses was time. Time to live without the rest of that sh*t.
But, that was then, and this is now. And I couldn't have gotten my arm back. But, I am getting the rest back. Except time. Can't get that back. That's why I set it apart from the others.
Man, I'm ambivalent.
It's never too late for a happy childhood. I think I'll go have me some more of that.
