It made me socially stunted. Emotionally stunted. They robbed me of everything. Took almost a decade to reparent myself and break free from their conditionings and trauma.

Realize that it was never them being protective of you, that's a bullshit excuse. They were protecting their own comfort and peace. If you try things, go out, make friends, al that can come with risks and costs, which is natural as learning and experience isn't free, it has to cost something. Our parents just didn't want to afford that potential cost, whether it was their time, money, or energy, or all.

there's neuroscientific research and evidence that shows certain abuse and neglect thru childhood literally stops certain regions and lobes of your brain from developing. like. we literally have executive dysfunction, chronic stress, c-ptsd. this messes with a developing brain in ways different than ppl who have trauma in adulthood. im sorry you had to experience this, bro. its something senseless that shouldnt have happened, and you always feel like ur watching life and ppl from the other side of a window you cant open. sending peace and love, man.

You get stunted in development. And stuck with nobody but the people/person that you aren’t even safe with. You can’t make friends with the regular kids because you don’t have anything in common and haven’t been able to even development your true personality because every day was just survival mode. And if you did make friends, it was only with the other “troubled kids” because you could relate to them… And in my case, it took decades for even start to unpack how abnormal it all was and I’ve gotten sadder and angrier as I’ve gotten older realizing it all. It’s exhausting 😭
