If I'm the only one who sees something as abuse am I likely wrong?
I don't want to go into details, but my mom was more hands on growing up than necessary and I'll leave it at that. >!Not hands on for punishment - for other reasons!<
I've spoken to my therapist about this, about how it's some of the worst trauma I've experienced and (trigger warning for capital T trauma) >!I saw another kid die as a kid, convinced myself it was my fault somehow, yet this effects me more!< .
I've told him before how invalidating it feels that anyone I've told has minimized it, even my partner didn't think it was abuse.
A few sessions ago I asked him if it was abuse. He just replied it was up to me.
I do plan to talk to him about this again, but is it most likely the case that what she did wasn't abuse if not even my therapist sees it as inherently abusive?
