I don't want to down play birth trauma but what birth isn't traumatic?! I am not trying to set women's rights back or anything lord knows I've had 2 kids myself but there comes a point where you have to process what happens and move on right?
I disagree as sometimes you canāt process and move on. Itās like PTSD, you can have treatment but you wonāt be ācuredā. You may never accept what you felt or what you lost. I canāt speak to other people but I just know itās not that easy.
However. Ashley has had multiple people explain to her the reality of her situation but refuses to accept it. Sheās not saying āI understand the reality but I canāt process it. My feelings donāt change by knowing I wasnāt actually going to die, I still felt like that in the moment and it traumatised meā. Instead she continues to believe her own version of events, rewriting history while, as far as we know, not getting any therapy. Itās always a blame game, always someoneās fault.
My personal thoughts are that her regret and resentment at Alf became ābirth traumaā in her mind so she had an excuse for her feelings. She couldnāt allow herself to accept that her feelings toward Alf were not caused by anyone else so she looked for something to blame and it became his birth. The reason I think this is because of the time line of when the birth trauma claims appeared.
