[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived a double life growing up.  At home, life was ruled by a tyrannical, abusive alcoholic father who made our lives miserable.  We were always on eggshells, waiting for the next rage to start.  Outside the home, I was completely different.  No one knew how horrific my home life was.  I was well liked, funny, smart, involved in school - a real wholesome girl.  I was very careful to keep my two lives separate and when they did come into contact with each other, I lied like the devil to preserve the facade.  It all came to an end when my father killed himself.  I suffered from PTSD for years and even now, in my 50s, someone walking into my bedroom unannounced will put me in fight/flight mode.

Is that the double life you're talking about?[/quote]

Hey that’s my life too! Except my bastard father is still alive in his late 80s after driving my mother to an early grave and estranging all his children from him and each other.

We looked very normal - nearly ideal - on the surface. Family pictures are such a lie.[/quote]
