Better, therefore, to pretend they don't exist,” Miller said. “This sort of blindness is, of course, well-known to therapists, who often have to struggle with it as they deal with families ravaged by addiction or domestic violence--families whose members can't and won't allow themselves to see that, for example, mommy is an alcoholic, or that daddy is a batterer. When they hear the awful truth, they just go deaf to it, and stay stone-blind to all the painful evidence that it is so.”
