Yes!! I have been going in about this in my posts. I don’t expect my children to be independent of me “forever”. My mother is upset that I haven’t become completely independent (I’m currently a single mom that has full residential custody of 3 kids).

I am 55 and still haven’t heard anything never belonged anywhere… that is a wound that has never healed. I hate this world for not showing me when I belong.

I was given 30 days after my 18th birthday to move out. It helps to know I wasn’t alone

Loving this discussion right now. I had not idea it was tied to patriarchy.

Yep. Thrown out at 15 due to me not leaving school to look after you get siblings full time - I wanted to stay in education & that was a problem for my parents.

I did not have to leave. I was wanted at home. I worked and contributed to the household. Life was simpler that way. It felt more secure as we all worked for the common goal. We enjoyed a better life. Once I married and left, that is when it all fell apart into patriarchy.

I gave so much thought to how we would set our expectations for our 3 sons. What we came up with; they could live at home as long as they needed or wanted to as long as they’re contributing. However, when they do leave, they better have their ducks in a row and their shiit together because they’re not coming back. In retrospect, I can’t unsee the influence of patriarchy, and I really regret the tough, and uncaring tone of the expectation. But, I still think the idea of it is good. We wanted them to be independent and prepared for whatever comes. In a matriarchal society we wouldn’t have to prepare our children for the cruel and competitive world while also hoping we didn’t teach them to be cruel and too competitive!

I think we don’t take into account trauma. I have an intense distaste to patriarchy- but as someone who grew up in a matriarchal family- that is not the answer either. Because regardless of the system - if it’s unhealed - it’s still part of the issue. Just my personal opinion. It isn’t just swapping one system for another- it’s getting at the root of oppression and trauma and dealing and healing those issues.

It’s a function to sell more vacuums and appliances and keep us depleted emotionally.

I was just reflecting on how matriarchal family dynamics are still present here in Italy despite the highly patriarchal society - even more so in the south. I moved out with my partner at 25, because we could finally afford to, and yet it feels more like I moved into his family (they're from Sicily). Yes mine is present and available at any time, but the way his family works is something else. It's like his mother is the central hinge around which everyone turns, and she is a constant presence. Not oppressively, she knows we're introverts and respects our spaces; but she will bring us extra produce when she finds some particularly good vendor, she will buy us clothes or trinkets if she sees something she thinks we'll like, she will call us often to meet up and everyone is welcome, even if they're not family they will be treated as such. And she somehow always knows someone who knows someone because the mentality is still heavily focused on the (real) social network. It's amazing to watch as someone who's autistic and struggles with all that, but watching her gives me hope in a bleak world.

well I moved out at 17 and moved back about about 12 times between 17 and 39 so... I guess my parents paid for whatever mistakes they made with me 😂 but in all seriousness, the way the system is designed, my mum was so depressed and burnt out from trying to work fulltime, commute long distance and maintain a home, that she wasnt present as a parent, and when i moved out, it was probably a relief.
