I want:
To react to grown ups who take advantage of me; even if I'm not capable of discerning how it's happening; or of understanding how I am while it is, now; in memories; that feel wrong.

Re: Dear Exposure
Wow, yeah, my imagination is definitely running that one now too.
I think that is basically what is facing us as children. And subject to limits, we imagine it until we either do feel it, or until we break ourselves from trying.
... that is full on...
The adult response might be to stop trying; and start trusting in the existence of your innate value; whatever it ends up being; that it's something flowing outwards, and should just be allowed to.
I hate myself.
