I told her that during Thanksgiving dinner I felt like standing on my chair and screaming at my brother *you inflicted emotional damage* and to my parents *you enabled him.* *Thanks to you I have no self esteem and have hated myself since the first breath I took.*
She actually applauded me. She said I am making progress because I didn't blame myself for anything. Though she doubts I hated myself on my first breath.
Even if I don't actually say it to them, I am not internalizing the pain, I am letting it out without self blame.
I do feel good.
