[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Clearly denial is a powerful factor. I was told how "upset" my father was at my "accusations," that my father was so loving he could never have possibly done what I was "accusing" him of, and that memory is strange and unreliable. [/quote] Yes, your memory is strange and unreliable. His is apparently just fine. (Sarcasm) Sigh. I'm sorry, OP. I agree with the PP above who had the great explanation. For someone to acknowledge your abuse means they have to act and make a choice. They have to decide to outcast a family member or they have to decide to belittle and gaslight your experiences. So sticking their heads in the sand and pretending you're the liar is easier. It's really messed up and damaging. [/quote]
