Thanks, gg. I'm trying as hard as I can, but I'm getting tired.
I brought up what I had said to my therapist, and said it was nice to say it calmly rather than my more heated (and less acknowledging) outbursts of "My mother/father is nuts!" I asked him if he would agree with my statement, and his oh so professional response was "Your mother is whacked!"
I told him how guilty I always felt for having problems that usually seem to only come with severe physical or sexual abuse. He reassured me (Is reassure the right word?) that the extreme inconsistency and level of emotional disturbance in the home was enough to account for it. I'm still not sure though. I feel such a fraud having so many problems that experts seem to be in consensus only occur in people who were sexually abused, while I absolutely was not.
