My mother is in denial that she had a wonderful marriage, she speaks of my father like he was so wonderful and my childhood was perfect when he was yelling at her every night and she threw him out for 5 years and left he with no money on welfare..Also Shes in denial about her neighborhood, its a bad drug, poor neighborhood, shes been in denial about since i was a kid. I remember telling her when i was 13 that im afraid i might get killed around there, she says “oh nonsense, our block is great if it was that bad i would move” Then she walks away.. Some guy got shot outside his building 2 blocks away from her.How do you reason with someone like this and make them see reality? She also ruined apart of my life by being in denial and feeding me false information, luckily I went to therapy and recovered from it.Open Question: How do you get through with someone who is in deep denial?
