[quote=Anonymous]I'm a young adult who plans on confronting my parents in the near future about how they were emotionally and psychologically abusive towards me as a teenager. I'm currently seeing a therapist, more or less know what I want to say, and know I can handle any fallout at least from a financial perspective but don't completely know how to prepare emotionally. I'm working on a plan with my therapist but at the same time know that there's any number of things that could happen that we couldn't realistically (or healthily) cover. Does anyone have any advice? For reference, two of the most likely reactions I can imagine happening are denial or screaming/yelling. In some ways this might not be as gigantic a loss as it would be in another situation because the abuse has already broken many other relationships that I had growing up (some gone completely, others not what they once were), causing me to move away and start my life over again.[/quote]
