Because you were conditioned to not think that way. I never thought I was traumatized either. I accepted the way I grew up as that is normal to me. You accepted what came your way as normal. Even though you probably had, just like me, evidence to the contrary, you needed to preserve what your normal was. What you were living in. The here and now is that way your way of life at the time you were in it was what it was, so you, never want to question it. Yet it was verbal and emotional abuse. Which over time is trauma and hard to overcome. So in therapy you should talk about how it felt and how it made you feel and try to come to terms. But, if you are like me, admitting it to yourself it the hardest step of all.
