When everyone was always so surprised that I turned out ok. I never batted an eye when aunts and uncles would tell me they were proud of me for living on my own/getting a job/other little things that didn’t require someone being proud of me. Until I turned 25 (I’m 26 now) and asked my uncle why he felt the need to be proud of me and he said “well, we all knew your mother neglected you and I expected you to turn out way worse. She always treated you like she didn’t want you and it was so heartbreaking. She favored your sister and treated you like trash. You’ve done amazing for yourself. You should be proud too.” I thought I was crazy all those years as a child but it turns out everyone else saw it and just didn’t do anything.
When did you realize you were a survivor of abuse? What made you realize it?
