Photo credit Reuters My mother was a narcissist. When I was 7, she married her second husband, my first step father. Starting almost immediately, my brother and I were abused emotionally, and eventually physically, by my step father. When I was 12, he began sexually abusing me. It started with him masturbating while watching me, first through a bathroom window and then in person. It escalated from there.
There's a lot of truth in this, and commiseration helps. It's all of our first attempted coup, so it's pretty normal not to know how to handle it. I was just telling a friend that 2020/1 has been like thousands of hours of therapy that I didn't want. The next couple weeks are going to feel like crawling through Mordor to throw the ring into the fires of mount doom.
