JULIET'S MUSINGS

22 - When Shame Came into View

by Juliet Grayson

When I first thought about shame, I didn’t even know I felt it. I would’ve said I was shy, easily embarrassed perhaps, but I didn’t realise it was shame. Toxic shame.

Looking back, I see it everywhere in my childhood and adult life. I couldn’t ask the neighbours for a cup of milk. Shame stopped me. I never expected people to remember me, even those I worked with every day for over a year. Shame also shut down my anger. I think my inability to hold my own anger led me to marry the angriest man I could find, and then I shamed him for it. That was my first husband. When I was sacked after twelve years at a company, I carried that shame too, masking it with resentment and blame, and quietly passing it on.
