I once has a patient who told me, "Everyone had me. My brothers, friends, uncles, fathers, everyone from before I can even remember."
I thought this was the biggest secret anyone could ever tell.
But another day she said that she had a secret she had never told anyone. No one. She had a very young son, was a single mother, and determined for him to be educated and off the streets so she had picture books for him, took him places, etc.
Her secret: "I can't read."
My second analyst who was an old woman had recently told me when I wondered about saying something to a patient said to me, "You are a grown woman. You can say whatever you want!"

Every one is in collusion, complicity, even the child who thinks it is a natural thing. It had become institutionalized for her. She is the goldfish in the bowl who can't know water. Then she goes to school which is an anti-environment and discovers
meaninglessness.
