ST,
Mom said I was conceived during a rape by my estranged dad, who I met officially when I was 33 and he denied it. She sure acted like I was a product of rape though.
She never had any psych work as far as I know but psychiatrists were part of our lives all along tho we pretended that they weren't. If the word psychiatrist was mentioned in the house it was always whispered and there was always an explanation for it, as in Gramma was schizophrenic b/c she had scarlet fever as a child, Ricky (my bro) was a psychopath b/c he fell down and bumped his head, I was "mental" b/c of a hyperactive thyroid, etc. There was much more law enforcement and jail time in my family than psychology, and we reveled in our status as outlaws, so no one thought it meant anything was seriously amiss. It's still hard to shape this stuff into any kind of cogent reality, but thanks for asking!trouble
