*trigger warning: talk of emotions and the abuse I remember*
I feel abnormal, and it's fueling the constant level of denial.
I should feel anger toward my abusers. I should feel angry about what happened to us.
I should feel angry at the unknown man that lured me into his house at the age 6 and raped me. I should feel angry about this! The most I feel is a bit of sadness.
I should feel angry about my adoptive mother starving me, kicking me, pouring salt down my throat because Amelia got snappy with her during a kicking moment. Why don't I feel angry?!
I should feel angry about Danny being taught to torture animals, for having to witness the brutal killing and cutting up of an innocent cat.
I know that Amelia takes a lot of my anger, but I do get mad about other stuff. Why the hell am I not getting angry here, at least a little bit?
Something's wrong with me. I'm numb to it. What if I'm faulty? Or what if the denial thoughts are right, and that's why I can't feel any emotion toward it? Something is wrong with me, I know it.
