Instead of giving me structure, my mom just ‘cleaned my room for me’ when I wasn’t home. I know she thought she was helping but it was such a huge invasion of privacy and made me feel so ashamed.

fishbone_the_mutt :
what about emotional neglect wounds from a parent that also has ADHD😩 but constantly compares their experience to their kid, constantly downplaying the kid's struggle.

When my mom was angry at my messy room, she would threaten to throw everything I owned out of the window/away

I’m neurodivergent, cleaning my room was hell. I’m so blessed that my mom is a special ed teacher, specializing in behavior and autism. She used to literally grid off my room with masking tape -

I feel like 85% of everything I remember about my childhood was me playing alone. My parents weren’t mean at all, it just seemed like everyone in the house just had their own thing going.

Stephanie :
I feel like the self loathing is constantly reinforced because just being so different from everyone makes us constantly feel like we are just broken people

Kristen :
I feel like I was never attacked for not keeping clean but I was never taught how to keep my room clean, just cleared, so I just make piles of clutter out of the way 🙃

✨The Y’allest Hobbit✨ :
God this was so validating, I want to cry. Both my parents were ND but had no clue how to nurture into structure. Even now all I want is that gentleness from them.

The self-attacking is SO real. Thank you for this. I can't wait for part 2

Ugh this is so real. I have ADHD and was just diagnosed with CPTSD from lack of support in my childhood. Thank you for sharing about this!!

Sol & Zazou :
Started gentle parenting myself. Yesterday I missed a sign, said to myself "ugh, BLIND!" and insta-changed it to "it's ok, ur in a diff country and navigated the whole way, it's ok to miss one thing"

Well, that was like listening to my childhood described with incredible precision 🙈

And they have the audacity to talk about what great parents they were with fond nostalgia

Ezra :
I'm just now realizing my parents have never acknowledged how hard things are for me. Instead they'd say like "was it really so bad to do that thing?" or "See? I knew you could do it"

As an undiagnosed ADHD teenager who was hospitalized with ED, i feel this. It is hard for me to help my ADHD daughter with her room, because I don’t have those tools either

Mariena @ Mellonhead :
For a few years now I’ve been trying to figure out why I get triggered when I feel misunderstood and I think you may have helped me find it. 🥺🙏🏻. Looking forward to part 2

I sat with the “adults that attack themselves” for 10 second before it was more emotion than I could handle. That was an ahha moment. 😭

Spooks :
every time I'm put in charge of a space it just slowly descends into a cluttered chaos. Like my bags, my room, everything just gets filled with Stuff.

Whenever I have to clean my room, my mind goes into overload because there are so many things in my room. And then my brain just shuts down and freezes. And being called lazy is so true.

Naomi Bellomy :
I just kinda accepted my adhd daughters idea of clean and organized is different than mine and that’s okay. As long as it’s not *dirty* I let her space be hers.

uncommon_ginger :
My mum used to say “do the dishes” but what she really meant was she wanted me to clean the entire kicthen. I love to cook but every time I do the dishes I have anxiety.
