I was also deeply moved by Andrea's essay about her abuse and her mother's reaction. It shifted something inside of me that was waiting for attention. For me it was years of denial of my own history after telling my own mother about abuses from multiple family members, her refusal to believe and my erasure of all memory of the things she denied. Andrea's words brought all of that back. I am so interested in your ideas about how women need to deny other women's reality whether its family, friends, therapists or our system of justice. I am so sorry that you had to live in that prison for so many years and that you were silenced when you finally dared to share. I loved your essay and am so glad to have stumbled onto it today.
