It’s made me terrified of others. I’m so afraid of being yelled at and being in trouble for expressing my feelings

I am 40 and sometimes I have to swipe off your videos bc they are so painfully accurate to my own upbringing. I listened to the end of this one and it validates so much of my experience.

“To praise them consistently” omg. My mom expects constant praises and thank you

This is 100% accurate. Even if it looks like they are doing something for you, it’s really never for you, it’s always for them to maintain their public image.

When I was 12 my mom told me she had cancer. I was in shock. She then said angrily “Well aren’t you going to give me a hug and tell me everything will be all right!?” I was a child having to comfort her in a very confusing moment.

My mother used to remind me how much my music lessons cost her. Like I wasn't allowed to forget I owed her in some way.

I just told my dad, “you’re my father. I’ve never heard any of my friends fathers talk to them like this.” There was silence. They feed off of you emotionally and in my case financially as well.

My parent said out loud that the only reason they hugged me or my siblings, was to GET affection, not give it. They didn't understand why their kids started fleeing those "hugs".

was open w/them until 14 because they consistently weaponized anything i said against me, even if my tone was off from exhaustion was bound for some punishment.

Yes, that makes more sense than how I was thinking of it before. My parents didn’t tell me anything about how they were feeling but these were the unspoken rules.

Ja :
my mother always takes my anger as an insult, even when it's not directed at her. she reacts so bizarrely to any strong emotion from me but she flies off the handle at the drop of a hat.

I would sooner evaporate than ask anyone for anything after hearing for years how many hopes & dreams were sacrificed due to my existence 🫠

My parents want to write a parenting book because we all turned out amazing-we were their emotional validation. 😂😂 you just described my childhood.

I remember being like 11 or 12 and asking "Why can't I have a bad day too?" and being told I could have a bad day, but i couldn't show it. At home... I was home schooled.

And this is exactly why I cut off my parents. I’m tired of letting them use me for their convenience
