You remind of a scene in "The Truman Show" where Truman discovered that his life is not all as it seems and he seeks to "escape" the shell he has been living in.
As he makes his way on the "sea". The director of the show("God") keeps on ordering the special effects team to hit him with more rain, thunder and lightning(things he fears). To which Truman responds by being beat down and close to surrender.
But then suddenly, Truman claps back at "God" and says "Is that all you got!!??"
I found the scene to be a metaphor to the endurance of the human spirit when it seeks to taste freedom(Uranus) from conditioned living(Pluto).
That it will even start to challenge anyone and anything(even overcome its long held fears) towards that intended freedom.
Like you, I am going through Pluto on my natal T-square(Moon,Mercury and Mars). It(Pluto) also squares my Asc.
I feel that Pluto (together with Jupiter) is more "familiar" to me tbh. Much more so than Saturn(who often feels like a completely unwanted stranger).
So the current transits has had me open my heart and speak more authentically of whatever wound/anger/resentment there is.
I don't think I care for the response, only if I pay attention to what and how I am saying what I am saying.I will be fine.
I only seek relief from these heavy feelings from my subconscious mind. Not to "hurt" or "blame" others. Only to communicate my subjective experiences and have them known by the other person.
I always think that Pluto can bring people definitively together for life or break them completely apart. Establishing distance indefinitely.
So as a woman confronts her father about sexual abuse in her teens as well as confronting her mother for looking away from that abuse. Pluto is in action.
Pluto can do a number of things here; it can have the family respond defensively towards the revelation and make the victimized woman feel unacknowledged.
To which she)the woman) can retaliate by cutting her family off. thereby metaphorically "freeing" herself from those feelings of being "victimized" by them.
Or the daughter could respond by pressing charges on both parents so that they are brought to book for their error(usually Pluto will accompany the natal Mars in this endeavor)
In the same breath, she seeks to "free" herself from them by having them locked away in prison etc.
For people who are going through it, my advice would be to be honest and speak from the heart. Even if the audience is not receptive or does not say "comforting" words. You would have stated your case and made your position very clear.
Sometimes people are fearful to offend. But I always say that the best relationships are the type that do not fear to offend as much as they fear to conceal.
As when we skirt around issues, authenticity in the relationship is lost. All we are doing is maintaining a dilapidated structure that WILL tear down inevitably.
But if we speak honestly(not hurtfully), we get rid of delusions and assumptions. We build an authentic bridge that stands the test of time.
All relationships are not an overnight sensation(well at-least the legitimate ones). They take time to build and require nurturing.
But that does not mean we ignore what hurt there is beneath just to keep "peace".
