About family shame and secret. Until it is buried in our minds and is only known as a headache.
Children should be seen and not heard, right Chordy?
Was raised to seen but not heard in the 70’s. Still in therapy undoing all the damage my parents did. Not that I didn’t do half of this crap to myself, but if I had a better start in life… Most of healing is acknowledging and accepting. Anyway…

Yeah, I think my childhood was on where I respected my parents more than I loved them in retrospect.
They are very stoic, austere people, I used to bevery passionate and prone towards lusts and addictions, so I was the alien in the family.
They really aren’t sympathetic towards imperfection, they don’t really even sympathize when you’re in pain.
So growing up sometimes I felt like there was an expectation that you must bear your struggle without voicing your discomfort.
