Shitty Parents - Tumblr Posts
It's a different kind of pain when your parents are only your parents, not your friends as well
Who else is tired of their parents barging into their rooms while the door is closed?
(I know darn well I am-)
I once thanked you for teaching me to be more self-reliant, for helping guide me along the path of growth. I won't deny it's a lesson I needed to learn. But I question now if it had to be done so harshly, if there had been a way that wasn't as barbed, that didn't cut as deep.
My parents started that lesson early, that learning was painful. That questions were bad. That I am wrong. That I am not wanted the way that I am. That I need to be better. And I used to think that maybe I'm just difficult, maybe they're forced to teach me the hard way.
I suppose I might never know the answer. But I wonder if I could have still learned those lessons in a gentler way, if someone had been kinder.
You said, "I can't believe it, why would she think of us like that? How could she be scared?"
And I thought, "Because she watched it happen. She watched you do it to me."
I am going to fucking explode. I was taking things at my own pace and my parents said to be faster and then I got distressed and started slightly screaming when talking and now they're angry at me. Fucking great. on the bright side I have a lot of energy to use when I got to swimming lessons
It’s kind of cool how my mam can make me feel like shit by being nice, because when she is, I feel like I’m the asshole for ignoring her, despite knowing full well she’s a dick
My parents give me money so I (mostly) don’t starve. But I keep not talking to them. And that makes me feel shitty. But then I spend five minutes talking to them and immediately remember why I keep not doing that. I feel like I’m allowed to ignore them for my own mental health and truly hope they die, while also being happy they give me money. Like. They get Christmas presents. I’m not coming over for Christmas though, so I don’t kill myself, but I think I’m being fair. Or something
My mom: I don't know why you hate me so much and won't forgive me, i always did everything to put food in your mouth
Also 9-12 year old me stealing money from her just to eat because she would spend all the money my dad sent her on random shit to pretend she had more money than she actually did because we lived in a fucking HOSTAL on the fucking MARKET even though my dad sent money to pay rent + schooling and by the way my mom took me out of school because she couldn't pay private school and she didn't want me to go to a public school so I didn't go to class flt almost 2 years ;]
Anyways, can you all tell I talked to my mom?
Fuck my life and fuck my mom honestly

It actually horrifies how normalized it is to ground children. And I'm not saying there's not a time and place for it, that being when it correlates to the offense. Natural consequences are great tecahing tools. I am saying that I find it disturbing how so often a parent's first instinct is to isolate their child from their support system whenever that child displeases them. And if that doesn't satisfy them, they'll take away anything they can think of that makes their child happy. Usually that's an electronic, since a kid can use that to contact their support system. I've been grounded and had my phone taken a few times. It only made me resent my parents more. It didn't teach me anything except how to take my phone back, hide it well, and replace it the day before I was set to get it back. My parents still don't know I did that.
