Exactly! They also made you (and me as the oldest) complicit in their dirty little conspiratorial bundle of lies! 😆 Might as well break the chains of naive trust earlier than later I suppose!

I dearly wish I had the balls to break that shackle early, instead of seeking parental and social approval for so many years, and missing the mark of who I truly am.
I’m glad to hear this, it seems as though I was spared prolonged suffering by a nuclear family implosion early in life. I’ve often thought only if and been riddled with guilt, now, fingers crossed, we’re building the framework for healthy extended family relations out of the ashes. My folks, dead, wouldn’t agree, but their sentiment blew my family to pieces long ago so to hell with them. We’re doing great! It sounds like it happened for you eventually, that’s worth celebrating no matter when it occurs. Curate your family! 💜
Such a blessing to know, live, and own this truth.
