[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 728790, member: 13542"] SWOT, my family not knowing how sick they were was a major source of struggle/pain for me. I was the odd man out, able to see the behavior as strange and often cruel, but I was accustomed to it and I was a child, no one was buying my views! It took a lot of therapy for me to see that their behaviors had nothing to do with me....however, their behaviors shaped my environment and who I became, so picking it all apart, took me awhile. When both parents exhibit bizarre behavior along with most of your siblings, it's difficult for a child to be OK with their own "typical" reality, It was crazy making for me and made me doubt my own truth. Crawling out of that was extremely challenging. You and I are truly fortunate that for whatever reason, eventually we were able to distinguish the real truth and seek help and heal. You've done a stellar job SWOT and I know how challenging it was. [/QUOTE]
