Yes, this subject is compelling to me. I have a need to understand things more deeply. And I think you and I have similar thoughts as to why? The one that comes to mind is: I have long wondered that I don't struggle with alcohol addiction? I have a line of issues with that with my two dads and others. I am not like anyone of my relatives. So happy for that. But being raised up in that was like being dropped on another planet. My kids are the only healthy and functional environment I have experienced. And my daughter is very similar to me. This is welcome validation and soothing. And because she sees the toxic people in my family for who they are, it is also very validating. Because I have always been locked into a cultural family structure where everyone plays the game, acts like they are all normal and I am the flawed and weakest on the food chain, it has pressed me down and dehumanized me.
