It seems like sometimes the more educated and liberal people are, the more toxic they become. I'm liberal and educated, so...
Like my mother has a Ph.D. She did her dissertation on women's body issues and the collective unconscious/feminine divine. Not that that stopped her own massive body image issues OR taking that shit out on me.
Anyways, when I was raped and I reported it she screamed at me for "creating more drama" and asked "what were you doing with him in the first place."
Later, she totally invalidated me and swore up and down she never said that and never would have said that - though she was and still is emotionally abusive in general and always treated me as some psychology experiment instead of a child, up to and including smoking pot with me when I was 14 (thought it was cool at the time. Now I have an 11-year-old and I'm like what the fuck.)
And she's so educated and so supposedly feminist it makes me nauseated to hear her talk about women's rights anymore. It probably triggers me more than rape talk because I know what a hypocrite she is and that when I needed her the most, she told me to fuck off.
Not the first time, btw. When I got pregnant at 18 and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she sent me to live in a homeless shelter but that's another story, just using it to illustrate what a shitty person she is.
