I Have Some Bad Childhood Memories

I grew up with strict domineering parents. This is the story about how my father ruined my one and only sleepover.

I had invited the class over for my 9th birthday. The boys could spend the night the girls could not. Remember how I said I was not allowed to watch tv unless it was educational? That rule applied to our guests as well. We could not even watch a movie without my parents approval.

I guess I was giving an attitude at some point because my father pulled me into a room to yell at me for acting like a brat and showing off in front of my friends. Disrespect would not be tolerated. I don't know what I did he wouldn't tell me. He never tells you and half the time I believed he made things up just to argue and fight.

No tv,no video games, we got forced to play in the basement as we were being too loud upstairs. My parents made us go to bed well before midnight no exceptions. Seeing as it was a sleepover we all stayed up talking and laughing. This was ruined by you guessed it my father. He came down to the basement and told all of us to go to bed firmly.

He went back up and we tried to be sneaky again. Nope here he came and this time he sat in a chair in the middle of the room like a prison guard until we all fell asleep. He was there for almost an hour just watching. How do I know? I was pretending to be asleep and I saw him.

I never threw another party.

That sucks. Your dad was kill-joy that night. It could have been fun. It should have been fun. Did he ever apologize or did you ever aask him why he did that when you grew up?

@FanniePRuffels No he never apologized. I don't think he remembers to be honest

We forgive our parents. .
We forgive or become them after 40yo.
You will hear you say similar phrases as you age, you will either be the opposite of them, yet never free to be, as you hold onto the past and relive old pains. .

Aim to ask yourself this when you are upset
Aim I upset for the reason I think I am? Or is it a reminder of a similar event. People will change as you go along in life, yet your upsets will be on repeat, just with different people and situations.

Forgive or relive with others your old pains over and over. .
