What beliefs or logic were you born into and have now escaped the indoctrination/logic of past influences?
Or did you keep your born into beliefs of the majority that surrounded you in early development?

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.

@TeresaRudolph71 Relatable. I like you! I'm glad you escaped and thought through all that psychological nonsense.
