Making child abuse and kidnapping trivial?

Your experience was not unique and I was pointing out that what happened to you is what The Family does, it is the type of things The Family does.

Is that trivializing? Am I making your experience less important or less bad? I don't think so.

I think that thinking that your experience is somehow unique might be important to you but it is not the truth. What you did in response was exceptionally courageous and unique and unusual but what The Family did was common practice.
