‘Fun’ fact. My mother took the door off of my bedroom when I was a kid. Straight up had no door because how dare I have privacy. This being after she read my journal and found out I was gay. Lovely woman, her. Can’t die faster.
I slammed the door once as a teenager
No door for months as a teenager
Until a friends of mothers pointed out my room was on the main hallway. And I was a growing teenage girl. The friend was extremely creeped out
Guess who got the door back that night and got yelled at for embarrassing her!
The person who took the door in the first place!
Parents like this don’t see their children as people with their own growing autonomy, but as appendages of themselves or things they made, and as their self-perceived owners that it is their right and duty to act like fickle and punishing gods. There’s nothing to be done to please or appease them, not that anyone should anyway. I’m sorry for anyone who has to grown up like this and hope you get to rebuild for yourself a peaceful life surrounded with trustworthy people.
That’s vile. I’m so sorry.
I bet you were so straight after that, right?
My entire family: He’s probably wanking again.
Narrator: He was sleeping.
I had a door but that didn’t mean my mom couldn’t just walk in anytime
