Childhood Non-Contact Sexual Abuse

So much of what is in this post resonates. I wish I'd found a conversation like this years ago. My dad also enjoyed making family uncomfortable while photos were taken. He'd secretly grope my mom, while she felt trapped, smiling for the camera.

I found so many pictures, taken by my dad of my mom or me, or my ex husband of me, where we had this look on our faces like, “Why are you doing this again.” And what’s weird is that humiliation was just part and parcel of the relationship—normal and expected and celebrated even, in some odd way that’s hard to tap into now.
