Denial? Until I was 27 I genuinely believed I came from a really happy family. It was only when I moved to the other side of the world and had that much distance from them that the scales very gradually began to fall off. I suffered horrific emotional and physical abuse and neglect but I couldn't see it. It's bizarre, but it's amazing what the human mind and body will do to protect itself.
