I live in Australia so am first listening to this in the middle of an interrupted nights’ sleep … I am in tears listening to you both and thank you for this conversation… making me think about my own childhood and the impact these types of events can have on you … thanks to you both 🥰
Jesse’s tale is one of horrific abuse and one of incredible resilience, as is Josh’s. Growing up with both Big T trauma and little T trauma on a consistent basis leaves one with CPTSD and and often coping mechanisms that worked for you as children but no longer benefit you as adults. Your stories are eye-opening. How many front doors and closed draperies hide the truths of this kind of family structure? You have brought light into a formerly forbidden subject.
I wouldn’t expect you to share the details of the answer to this question, but I’m wondering what effects you each suffer (biopsychophysicalspiritual). It’s not uncommon for victims of such abuse to develop autoimmune disease, anxiety disorders, GI issues, brain fog, etc etc etc. Every now and then I pull out THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE by Bessel van der Kolk. Too often doctors fail to ask “the questions” that are so important in diagnosing dis-ease.
Not all heroes wear capes and Jesse you are one such hero. The telling of your story will surely benefit you and countless others who, through your story, have retrieved lost memories from under the rug of dissociation.
I admire your bravery and the compassion you developed as a result of your unfortunate circumstances.
The fact that you both can share your experience with each other is admirable and healing for you both.

I’m very moved, interested, and appreciative of The Daughter’s Tale, part 1. Thank you, Disaffected and Jesse.
I apologize for burying my reply/reference at this location. I’m a bit lost geographically, but I know you’ll find it.
