How were you raised?

@Effloresce I’m sure you felt quite smothered x

I sure did @Syktur

@ExperienceDLT I feel the same at times, though they’ve fallen short in some ways. Just be helpful to them; do kind things and ask nothing in return. Thank them often for what they’ve contributed to your life. Ask them for advice and follow it. X

@Syktur thank you that is sound advice

@ExperienceDLT good luck my friend. Don’t forget change is possible. It all starts with you x

@Deadcutie as it should be x authoritative is good.

@Syktur yep

@Syktur yes it was. And it still is. My dad won’t allow me to move out until I’m in my 30s and he can get mentality abuisive. I hardly see my mum or hear from her. She uses Facebook and Instagram and as Long as my account is still active and I’m posting she doesn’t bother contacting me.

@SW-User praying you see a way out of that. Hugs x

@Syktur thank you 😊 hugs 🤗 you back

@Ryanoliver2011 I can definitely have an idea lmao. Did the same. Only thing was that they were pretty permissive; my dad was the one who decided when I would or wouldn’t get the shit beaten out of me

@Syktur sometimes my dad used to beat me as well...

@Ryanoliver2011 it sucks but you end up having to stand up for yourself.

@SeymourWeiner aren’t you Jesus

@Syktur lol I can. Imagine when your daughter is the goth...

@VioletShadows yikes. They’d be terrified

@Syktur They understood me on some levels really well, but easily threatened by what they didn't and harsh in their reactions.

@SW-User I can relate, but only with the corporal punishment part lol
