I thank you for your comprehensive explanation. It's all there to see, I feel hopeless and frozen, I can't imagine how to proceed, the feelings are so entrenched, complex and provide security that fortifies my child's perspective.

We’ve all felt or are still feeling the same way. There is nothing wrong with it; it’s natural and expected. I haven’t heard of anyone who’s gone through this awful situation and hasn’t felt these very same things. It isn’t only our own judgment of ourselves, but that of the majority of society, that makes us feel this way. That's why we need to change it.

Hang in there, Mary, we're all here for you. You will never be alone again!

Thanks for this excellent article. It's the erosion of trust that triangulation causes that for me is the most heartbreaking and consequently makes genuine reconciliation far more difficult to achieve.
