I'm finding myself having to stop and think: "is this my fear or is it my dad's?" since eh always has a negative spin on everything and I have lived as a people pleaser because of it. It's really disrupted my ability to form my own identity.

I was always met with more criticism than actual support which was so incredibly frustrating. I did stop sharing things, or fully telling the truth to avoid judgement and negativity. My mom would keep asking me to try to “catch me in the lie” because she knew I wasn’t being fully honest but couldn’t understand why. A lifetime of being parented by someone with catastrophic thinking has also affected my ability to try new things - I always have self doubt and fears about hurting myself. I’m now 32 and have no hobbies and no idea who I even am!

whenever I would mention something I was considering, like going to art school or taking up photography they would say something like 'its very hard' or 'extremely competitive'. in my mind I heard 'you would fail'.

My mom is like this. Good news is overwhelming. Bad news is overwhelming. Everyone just stopped telling her their news.

I excitedly told my mom I’m going on a trip to Alaska to visit my good friend. Her immediate response is “AND HOW THE F***ARE YOU GONNA AFFORD THAT?!”

My whole family tried to deter me from starting Airbnb in my home. They told me I might be murdered. I’m so glad I didn’t listen because it started me on a very successful path in real estate.

my mom was like this. And the moment I realised I do the same with my kids, I just stopped. First I just shut up, and hold back my words. After I pretend to be cool and supportive, it was just a facade, inside I was screaming. but as time went by, I faked it until I made it - I felt that I really support them, trust them, and it's really easy now.

This was CONSTANT while I was growing up. It was so exhausting, my mother and father both, thinking everyone was out to get you all the time. Every worst-case scenario became a warning about what they “knew” was going to happen. The anxiety and paranoia. Ugh. Unfortunately all that imprinted on me too growing up. I feel like I’ve missed soo many opportunities over the years being scared because they put that nonsense in my head. Does it ever stop???

2 years ago I moved to a different place in the same city. I did it over the course of two weeks, slowly packing things and already moving some stuff over on the back of my bike (I'm Dutch). The last day 2 friends helped me move the big stuff with their car. I didn't tell my parents anything. They had no idea it was happening. It was so incredibly relaxed and exciting(!) and the contrast with the time I moved out of my parents house with their "help" could not be bigger. It was such a relief to not have my mothers negativity and her volatile moods to deal with.
