The quote “Maybe you weren't a terrible person, maybe you were just fifteen” always gets me

My mother told me there must be something wrong with me because I was so confrontational all the time, back when I lived with my parents. Then I moved on my own and realised that it’s natural to be angry when other people micromanage my life; make every decision for me without consulting or telling me about it, and act like every differing opinion I have is a violation of their unsaid rules, all the while being told that I’m the problem.

Just started listening to the audiobook for “adult children of emotionally immature parents” today, and every sentence has been reading me to filth. Your book is next 😭😭🫵🏼 (once it comes out of course)

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized I’m not as “angry and negative” as I was always told. I’m actually quite patient and optimistic. I never want my daughter to have to come to that realization as an adult.

Chronically ill as a kid. Moved out at 22 (32 now) and I have been sick maybe 3 times in 10 years. Very telling.

As a teenager my mother would call me an ‘emotionally abusive teenager’ who abused them. I thought my brain was broken. As an adult who never feels that level of anger, and who was raised by an angry, crying, screaming mother. I now see I was merely repeating the behaviour I was taught. My mother’s ceiling is my floor. No one will ever be a punching bag or sponge for my traumas, especially not a child who had no choice in being here.

I immediately went to check if I could get this on audiobook and was so confused how you already had the book when it was only pre-order and then I realized you were in fact, the author🤦🏼♀️😂❤️

Except that angry teenager still lives in 20 year old me when she sees injustice when she remembers the abuse she endured and when my family pretends i didn’t fight for my escape

And this is why I am so eager to be on my own. Not because I do not love my family dearly but because I know that distance could be beneficial to both of our growth.

People like me so much outside of my house, I’m always getting compliments on how nice I am, I’m a hard worker and how I can communicate well. In my house, I’m ungrateful, lazy and selfish….
