Circling back to the misunderstanding there was also another element. There is a reason I was suffocated and drowned. But at the time it seemed like my experience of that alone was too extreme to be believed. It’s really only the tip of the iceberg. I understand now that this wasn’t intended.

I was drowned and suffocated by my mother for trying to fight against sexual abuse in my early teens. I know it’s considered rare for mothers to sexually abuse their daughters. It was a tougher topic than people realised.

Anyway, we don’t have to talk about that. I’m sorry if any of that was too intense.
