I spend my time trying to convince others that I'm not a spoiled brat who did not get her way. But in fact,I was abused, like many of us are, and I am here to tell the tale. I feel like if we admit the wrong doings of the mother figure, then we are tearing down the collective work put in place by the women's liberation movement. To admit one was bad means to admit women's inabilities and flaws. Well, I refuse to lay quiet and to be dormant. Abusers exist in all gender types.
