The real reason why women drink — Quartz

I am not a drinker, but I drank . In the society of professionals

there was very little in life that did not offer the opportunity

to drink alcohol. I did not witness the wee hours , in the home

of in laws that related 1st person, exposed the addictions.

There’s no denial, because it’s so normalized, a right of passage

as if drinking solidified your frat or sorority standing .

And wealth/influence .. it was common in detached parenting

homes especially noticeable in the 60s .

We can’t afford to live lives we have to fool ourselves into tolerating.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
