Duh duh & double duh!!
Just hit me - when we had our counseling session, Peter said our family life was so toxic, he & Mike & Mim left home as soon as they graduated from high school.
Did I visibly stagger backwards, realizing the truth of what he said? Felt like it.
Our family life was toxic. Intensely so. I felt it. Still do.
For me, Peter was one of the primary toxins!
My guess is that Peter & Mim & Kerry experience me as the primary toxin. It's a good bet that Whitney & Reynolds, maybe even Scott experienced me as the primary toxin.
Our family was spectacularly toxic. And we all had a part in it. What's perhaps most interesting is that I haven't a clue how I could have been anything but toxic to them. And vice versa. Not personal, just utter opposites.
Illuminating....
