Cynthia answers “This book is disgusting to me. I do not...”

Patricia Barry asked this question about Educated:

This book is disgusting to me. I do not understand why an educated and worldly individual would have difficulty understanding the horrible and violent upbringing that she experienced. It is unbelievable to me that she could not understand the violent situation, yet uneducated upbringing she endured. I have completely misunderstood her manner of education in a life in our country, in this country, how is this possible?

Cynthia Wow. It seems you have a lot of growing to do in understanding the psychology of being brought up in an environment like Tara. PTSD exists and is real…moreWow. It seems you have a lot of growing to do in understanding the psychology of being brought up in an environment like Tara. PTSD exists and is real. NOT knowing what else is out there exists and is real. It's possible in this country because Freedom from/of religion allows people to do all manner of unthinkable things to people. I'm not saying it's not a good thing to have, just stating the obvious. Using the word disgusting to describe this is puzzling to me. (less)
