[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were awesome. They were upstanding people who sent my sisters and me to decent schools in a decent community and paid our college tuition. My mother was a SAHM and devoted her life to us. I am so grateful.

However, it is devastating to me that they had really loose boundaries with my sisters and me. They thought it was appropriate to watch porn and graphic, R-rated movies with me starting around age 11. Discussions focused on sex at least a few times a month under the guise of sex education. Conversations included sexual jokes and innuendo, comments about women's bodies, how often my parents were having sex, the details of the adults-only hotel with kinky rooms where they celebrated my father's birthday, stacks of porn magazines in the basement. My mother coaxed me into giving my father a copy of Madonna's "Justify My Love" as a Christmas gift when I was 15.  My father thought taking me to see Basic Instinct with him when I was 16 was appropriate.

Fast forward to mid-life and the impact of their behavior on all of us shows. I am estranged from my mother (my father is dead) because she is so harmful to me and is not open to feedback or repair.  [/quote]

Ew, you’re diminishing and blaming PP for what clearly is a form of CSA?[/quote]
