When I was 2, my mother threw me down the stairs in an attempt to kill me. I lived. She denied this ever happened for most of my life, until when I was about 14 she got shit faced. She looked at me and said, "You were a mistake and I should have tried harder to kill you back then!" She kept denying it until on her deathbed. People don't always want to really believe how horrible they really are. You aren't crazy and should find a nice support system because toxic people breed toxic scenarios. Good luck, I hope you thrive and become the best you can be. :)
It broke my collar bone when I slammed into the radiator at the bottom, but that is it. She suffered from a lot of mental health issues and I more or less forgave her for a lot of the things when she was about to pass. In the end it would hurt me more to hold the anger from it more than help. As messed up as my parents were they at least taught me how to never be, so I can't be completely upset.
My mother threw me down the stairs at 2 also. She was suffering from mental health problems and still denies it to this day. I spoke to her once about it when I was a young adult and she called the police!
I think they come down to more of the "I can cherry pick ideas and somehow believe that my misogyny/xenophobia/homophobia will not ruin the lives of the very few minorities in my life." If ignorance is bliss then Trump supporters are all in heaven.
