Has anyone else here been told stories about their parent's own childhood and adult sexual and intimate traumas that they should never have heard, as young children themselves?
Yes. My dad shared several stories with me when we were alone. Horrible. Changed the way I saw people, men in particular. These stories would've been inappropriate to tell an adult and he told his young daughter. :no:
yes, indelibly engraved in my mind. Images and Secrets of the worst kind.Mine to keep. I'm glad its not just me...
I was a teenager and asking pretty tough questions. Honestly, the question was why she seemed so angry at/about her mother, who'd been dead for over a decade by then. Instead of putting me in my place, she did tell me about a couple of incidents, though without much detail. It made me cry for her childhood. We never talked about it again. I left it alone and she didn't share anything more about it later.
