Hi Anita,

No I don’t believe that my parents lied to me. They are not wicked people and had nothing to gain for it, they did everything that they could with the resources that they had. People not believing that she was sick and the medical trauma that she suffered which I can sense that neither do you based on the fact that we lived in a wealthy country.

As for feeling relief in learning to trust my own perception makes good sense when you have had your reality denied for long. It makes you quetion everything and is a horrible feeling. Telling someone something that the want to hear just to make them happy, doesn’t sound very empathetic nor helpful.

Repeting things isn’t just about reliving stress but also makes you able to see things from a different perspective.
