I never noticed until I had my own kids. But I was never complimented. Hugged. Told I was loved. Ever. It’s something I sometimes have to force myself to do now, because it’s new to me. But I’m doing it. Because it ends with me.

my moms form of punishment was silence and disregard. I now ask my husband if he’s mad at me anytime he’s not speaking

simultaneously being the black sheep of the whole family AND the one everyone calls when they need something- crazy work

My mom was too inconvenienced to breastfeed so they fed me formula. It was expensive so the minute they got the all clear to give me something else they gave me apple juice in a bottle. Only apple juice. At 3 I had to have all of my teeth pulled because they were crumbling they were so decayed. I have such a fear of the dentist and cannot so much as smell apples without getting sick now. I’m 35 and my parents still make fun of the way I used to talk with no teeth. Not in a sweet endearing way.

I listen to the way people walk. Breathe. React. I’m a human mood detector.

My mom was ironing and said put your finger there (I was like 4?) and I did. And she burned me. Just looked me in the eye and burned me. I realized something about this adult isn't safe

i bet none of us received a proper apology, it’s always “why do you keep talking about the past”, “it never happened” or “it was all your fault in the first place”. at the end, you just get used to the fact that for them, acknowledging what they’ve done (and the psychological aftermath) is far more painful than anything else and forces them to look at themselves.

Spent my whole childhood thinking my mom didn’t know about what my brother was doing to me. Cut to 25+ years later and I let her know I was leaving for ED residential treatment. First thing she said was “was it because of what [name] did to you?” She knew. SHE FUCKING KNEW AND DIDN’T PROTECT ME. I WAS 8.

In 2021 I was 20 weeks pregnant and my water randomly broke. I went to the the hospital and was turned away because the doctor said “this is a very Catholic hospital”. What that has to do with medical care is beyond me. I could have died and not one person there cared. My baby passed away and I vowed to never work somewhere where religion takes precedence over basic decency.

Waking up to find my dad had tied up our dog outside in the snow all night where he beat her as punishment for going to the toilet inside and me and my brother rushing to bring her inside to wrap towels round her and blow dry her whilst hysterically crying. We were under 10.

When I was six my mom left to work, we were dirt poor, we had a carton home, my mom worked a lot but she always wanted more for us. One day one of her friends asked her “ do you want to work in the states, she said I can’t I have my girls. Her friends response, do you want to suffer with your girls or you alone? The next day she left. My mom worked day and night to send us money. But we still suffered while my mom sent money for us to eat and have clothes, we weren’t fed and were told my mom had not sent money for food. One day I was so hungry cause the night before I didn’t get anything to eat, I went to my grandma’s house, it smelled so delicious and I asked what they were cooking, they told me “! Caldo de res but there is no food here for you, your mom has not sent money. I will never forget that. I will never in my life deny food to anyone. Not only cause of severe trauma but I think the day we deny food to anyone is the day we lose our humanity.
