Iaccus you show great strength and courage by sharing this with your T and with us here. Your desire to heal and move forward is so powerful and inspires others. You are not at fault for those things. A child cannot consent, they can only comply. I encourage you to keep pushing through those difficult memories and emotions so that you can achieve the peace and happiness you so richly deserve.

You've done an outstanding job of what I would call an almost perfect statement to your T. It must have taken a whole lot of courage both to write it and to disclose it here on the forum.
It's certainly understandable to want to try to understand more the love/hate relationship. How someone so dear as your mother could, at the same time, have such a dark side. It's easy to say "It wasn't your fault, you should have no shame" but really believing that as your own truth, and internalizing it are much, much harder to do. I hope this session will be a fresh beginning to actually understanding that concept.
Best wishes, my thoughts are with you. I hope tomorrow's session will be one of the most productive ever, and afterward you'll do something really nice for yourself. You certainly deserve it.

You are so strong to survive, write, post. I feel so weak and whiny when I see the strength, and growth you on tinge to show. I only wish you could glimpse the IA we all see so clearly.
Pwerful post and hopefully productive session tomorrow.

Wow Iaccus, as difiacult as it was for you to tune in fully during your session and as intense as your emotions were for you around the guilt you have bottled up, you did it. You did an awesome job of working through it. Well done.
I think wrighting is such a good way to get what's inside and locked down out in the open where we can look at it in different ways and start to grow again.
I am feeling very proud of you. This is how we build capacity and get stronger one pass at a time.
I think extra rest may be in order. The toll of an emotionally productive session like you went through can be quite exhausting.

Good work, iaccus
Even though you dissociated in half the session, you didn't in the other half. That's great, you faced what must have been an extremely emotional subject. I agree that being able to write it out, as you did in the email, is definitely a good sign. And progress.
It seems the more we write about something the less power it has to bring us back to the feelings of guilt and shame. I hope you're on the right path to recovery, too. And from the sound of things, you must be.

Great Job!
You made it through and were there for at least 1/2. You carried out Winston Churchill's instructions.
