[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 617362, member: 17461"] When we are very frightened, our brains protect us by going into denial. Recovering calls this place you are in now the FOG. It is a place we all find ourselves when what is happening is so horrible that we freeze in place. Like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming car. The car is coming, aud. You have to move. Whatever it feels like, you have to step aside. It is your son driving the car. It's coming really fast, and you have to move, aud. There is no "good" choice, in a situation like this one. But there is a right choice aud, however wrong it feels. And that is to protect yourself and your daughter. That is the first step. Take it. Once you are safe, you can think what to do about your son. What you are feeling now aud is what every abused person, man or woman, feels. It is what every victim of torture or brainwashing feels. Trapped, afraid to defy the abuser, afraid to have him near you, afraid to let him know you're afraid. Afraid to know what to think, afraid to think, at all. How dare he do this to you.
