What beliefs or logic were you born into and have now escaped the indoctrination/logic of past influences?

Your parents always know what's best for you and always have your best interests at heart, even if what they're doing is really hurting you.

Whatever happens to you is God's will. Even if someone really hurts you, that's part of God's plan for you. If you want things to change, you need to pray about it, but then if things don't change, that's just the way it's supposed to be.

It's very important to be "normal." It's not okay to be too different from everyone else, because you will be an embarrassment, and we will need to do something about it.

It's not okay for you to express any negative emotions. Those must be squelched immediately, though it's perfectly fine for Mom to yell and scream for half an hour or more, because her feelings are important.

Oh yeah, I've escaped all of those. I still do what I have to do to keep the peace, but not at the expense of my sanity or well-being.

Atheism/scientism. Broke free and became Christian.

Remember those kids in California?? Where the one escaped and called for help?? Yeah my parents were same. I had to learn EVERYTHING!

I realized early on that Republipukes do not care about Science or the environment.

Racism.

I knew pretty early in age that I thought differently than my family. I never understood why they did not want me playing with other children simply because they were black. I never listened, though, I played with anyone I wanted to and as I grew older I fought tooth and nail with my mother over it. Eventually, she realized the error of her ways.
