[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]04:00, thank you for painting a picture through your writing. Very well done.

OP, I had the opposite problem, and I didn't resolve it until my mid-30s. I grew up joking about my upbringing to the extent of ignoring the trauma and compartmentalizing it in an emotionally unhealthy way. Therapy helped me tremendously.

08:52, I, too, am triggered by Trump. I think he does that to a lot of people. When Paula Reid recently called him out on his lies, his facial expressions before he walked off made my hair stand on end. [/quote]

Oh honey.  A LOT of us are triggered by Trump.  Psychologists have written articles on this. He's so horrible in so many different ways, that he manages to offend people who have all different kinds of issues.  People who've been sexually assaulted, people who are Puerto Rican, people who have some close personal tie to Mt. Rushmore, people who jumped through hoops to be allowed to vote, people who've had relatives die of Covid, people who've been assaulted or had relatives killed by the police, people who are Jewish, people who are any minority, people whose fathers have cheated on their mothers, etc.  SO many people.  You are not alone.[/quote]
