This is why recovering from Abuse is like recovering from gambling - The People - 10-16-2019
"When I considered the people who abused me. I struggled to accept it largely because they weren't evil at the time. They did normal things too. They are, they laughed, they sang whilst baking shortbread. They did everything else-- people who didn't #abuse #children-- did. So I kept on refusing to believe that they had abused me too. For many years, I wanted the image more than I wanted the truth, because the truth is painful. The truth is that nice people are not always nice and that 'monsters' live in four-roomed bedroom houses too."

Think that a very valid point..monsters can hide behind masks of normality which can fool so many people.

Exactly Phoenix22. And those masks are what makes it so confusing.
