UH Journal

[THolt]

So today was quite interesting. I felt a surge of emotions such as anger, guilt and shame. I remembered all of the times my dad put me down, criticized me, compared me to others, etc. I felt such anger. I come from a dysfunctional family where being verbally abusive is seen as normal. Children were meant to be seen and not heard. There was no debate or arguing or anything like that . That would be interpreted as back talk or disrespect. So as a result I felt invisible. Not allowed to express my opinions or told they didn't matter.

Seems like UH is making progress on these issues. Looking forward to the coming months
