@sydneyturcotte: When we realize that the parent who "understood" us was actually an enabler actively trading our safety for their peace of mind, the loving parents script shatters. That realization is the mechanism for releasing the betrayal wound. They were never a victim of the system; they were consciously always invested in the abuse.
