My mom use to get my dad to punish me but she secretly hated how harsh he was.
Some mothers are scared to get involved with their husband discipline methods..🌲
@firefairypower433 I think a lot of adult children with CPTSD feel alone when a non abusive parent minimizes the trauma. Her denial could be a survival mechanism, but it leaves you without validation. A lot of parents in this position frequently default to denial for a few reasons. If she admits that his yelling and physical abuse was wrong, it forces her to confront her failure to protect you. Sometimes the guilt of that is too heavy for them to bear, so they choose to pretend it never happened.
