Misophonia Horror Story #3: Step-Monster Meets Misophonia

[@Nameless_Teacher37]

As a great-great grandfather and a great-great grand uncle (retired military) with misophonia going on almost 15 years...hearing this story was almost more than I could bear. I am doing my part to raise awareness and - hopefully, one day, help us find an inexpensive and readily available cure for all of us wounded warriors out there, whoever they are, wherever they are, whenever they are. Stay strong, sweetheart. You are one of my inspirations to keep waking up every day.

Withholding food is horrible, but I find when it comes to main triggers, miso’s tend to harbor extreme, cemented hostility and demonize them for actions the non miso world would consider innocuous (eating) or minor. If the stepmother had a legitimate reason for locking the fridge (e.g., she was on a diet and withholding food from herself), she’d still be a “monster” and “cruel” in her daughter’s eyes because she’s a main trigger. It’s revealing that there are no actions or words a main trigger can do that will make them less demonic - because of the disorder. Not them, but the disorders distorted perception of them. You’re even accusing her of modeling hitting of her child. Yet she was livid about her son getting hit, and you brushed off the sisters actually hitting him. Do you understand the lunacy of hitting a child for making normal child noises in the non miso world, and how upset a mother would get? This reminds me of the distortions and splitting caused by borderline personality disorder. In that one, mere inattention will cause splitting. Here, its chewing.
