Betrayal

[Amy]

Thanks, y'all.

I've been working on this stuff for a long time, getting down to deeper and deeper layers so that I can heal.

To answer your question, Michael, my mother is a narcissist, definately.

She was willing to let her kids be abused to keep from being abused herself.  My anger with the Hs was obvious, so that got worked on first.  Now I'm getting down to the issues with Mom, of which there are many.

Thanks for the encouragement.  What a gift it is to find a place to say these things out loud.  Most folks, even therapists, can't handle this stuff.

I never thought of that. I just talk to my therapist as if she has heard everything, and, beatings, betrayal, rejection, abandonment,  on and on and I say it like I was reading a book about someone else, BUT I have noticed there are certain times she presses her lips together, very tightly and turns down the corners of her mouth so I wonder if she is being affected enough to do the crying that I am not., and has to hold it back?????

Awww My poor Brenda!!

I'm paying attention CB.  I'm moving slowly but, I'm moving forward.  Sometimes I lose track of that.  I'll do one of the things you suggested and I'll do it tomorrow.  Thanks again.
