[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 649837, member: 17542"] Lucy when I was reading your post about he interview I flashed on my own experience. For years I felt very alienated from my father. When I talked about my feelings to my mother and sister, they minimalized all of it. They said I was too sensitive and I didn't see things correctly. They gaslighted me. Today I do see things in a more balanced way about my father...the good and the bad. But all those years I was so hurt by his behavior that I could not see the balanced view. That was my truth though at that time and I was entitled to it. I know your sons story is complex like all of our stories. Perhaps this was his truth and of course when we talk about it we never can articulate all of the ins and outs. I am sure it was very hard to hear and you have my warm hugs today Lucy. [/QUOTE]
