I called my therapist (who has been instrumental in helping me survive my mother for a long time) and told her about this comment, because this is something I never thought was THAT messed up, and she said she was curious what exactly about my post caused such a strong reaction. Is it that my mother does that in the first place, or my positive feelings about it because of the context, or what? Can you clarify?

NAYRT - Good response, anon. Honestly, jerks on FS just like to use recommendations of therapy as a really shitty way of attempting to invalidate opinions they don't like.

Now, if you'd never had therapy, I would say you probably should, simply because it's a good idea for anyone who's had an abusive parent to have some therapy. But it's very presumptive of AYRT to assume you hadn't had therapy. If anything, I think being able to recognize this kind of "reverse trigger" from your past and pinpoint why you find it comforting is a good thing.

nayrt and I think the ayrt is overstating it quite rudely. That said, it is interesting that your brain is trained this way and sounds like you're still dealing with PTSD from your childhood. Kudos to you for surviving and and managing it in a healthy way!
