well Carl Sagan is WRONG. Sometimes learning you've been bamboozled is exactly the thing to explain all the mystifying shit that you went through. A coworker friend in her 50's related her RELIEF to learn that her parent was a narcissist and that she WASN'T crazy or the source of all the family problems like she was told. Over FIFTY YEARS of bamboozling done to her! Her stories were so miserable, but now she says she is a different, happier person for learning the truth. I believe her.
It was her PARENT. It's natural for a daughter to "submit" (as you call it) to her parent. A little child depends on the adult parent for everything! By the time she was a teen, she'd been brainwashed to believe over a decade of lies. Just went downhill from there. Very sad tale.

50 years of submission kinda proves his point don't you think?
