‘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.
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.
Exactly. My bedroom was the living room couch and my mom made my little sister sleep with her in bed from ages 2-18 🫠
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!
I just straight up didn’t have a room. At first I even had to sleep in the same bed with my dad. Well, “bed”. Extendable sofa where you had to lay at a specific position to avoid the springs. And eventually just some cheap ass soft foam mattresses that I am sure weren’t meant to be directly put onto anything hard.
Though I finally got a bed when I was around 10. Still in the room with dad.
Mother had her own room.
I ended up spending most time on the toilet.
Thank god I was only in that position for a little while. Lived for 2 months in a two bed motel room with my sister, mother and her new BF. I heard so many ungodly noises of her whale flesh suctioning against the bathtub…
That’s vile. I’m so sorry.
I had a door but that didn’t mean my mom couldn’t just walk in anytime
I bet you were so straight after that, right?
My entire family: He’s probably wanking again.
Narrator: He was sleeping.
Lol I didn’t have a bedroom from age 12-18. My bed was the living room couch 🫠
