Rick Moskovitz
“If the abuser is a parent or caretaker, the abuse may be the most attention the child has had from that person. To the child, withholding attention can be a powerful form of coercion. Sexual molestation may be accompanied by physical expressions of affection that are sometimes the only affection the child receives.”
Rick Moskovitz, Lost in the Mirror: An Inside Look at Borderline Personality Disorder

“Until I told the truth to Lisa and Reanne, I don't think I let myself fully absorb how bad all of this really was. I knew my mom was sick and that her behavior was deeply wrong, and I felt like I hated her at times for some of the things she said and did to me. But seeing the faces of these two grown women absolutely crumble as they listened to me talk about what I'd been through - women who were closer to my mom's age than my own and who had surely experienced their own hardships - I finally registered how others perceived my mom's actions.”
Zachary Wood, Uncensored
