That is a very accurate description of what I've been dealing with in the last few years.
I got good at blocking. I was taught to by the best - my mother. She has admitted to me that her own father sexually molested her sister. I think he probably abused her as well but she hasn't admitted to it.
She recounted a story where her sister was favored over her and something their mother made for my mother was given to her sister and I think it dealt with the sexual abuse.
My mother is all about blocking the bad in yourself and your family. I think this is why this talk hit me so hard.
