Negative Introject dynamics

[MakersDozn]

About something being corrupted at some point....Yes, we believe that our dear GM had a difficult life, but that's no excuse for making the choices that she made. Her younger sister was the polar opposite: upbeat, positive, knew how to let go of something when it no longer served a purpose.

Granted, we didn't know Aunt L. very well, but the difference between them was striking, and it only served to emphasize the point that past trauma is no excuse for later choices.
