as a small baby i was badly abused by a babysitter. i went to the hospital for treatment and when i came home all my mother did was yell and chastise me. i was all of about one years old.
i cannot tell you how hurtful it was. no wonder i remember it.

sometimes when we are ill we remember things that really didnāt happenā¦are you sure about your memory? how long have you remembered itā¦did it come to you or did it happen is what I am trying to gently say.
When trauma is experienced at a young age it is usually remembered a certain way. Have you shared this story with a counselor to try and rule out false memory? Not to say I do not believe you, but it would also open the door to deal with this in the safety of a counselorās office.
I think the reaction from our family is ten times worse feeling than the abuse we suffered from othersā¦shouldnāt feel that crummy, but it does.
Sorry to hear you had to go through such things, Judy.
I can understand why you felt hurt by your motherās reaction. When we feel abused we want other people to sympathize, not yell at us.
Being yelled at just adds insult to injury.
I never wanted any sympathy, but I never wanted to stand out as āthe victimā either.
