[@AmberAmber]

I'm so sorry... My mum was hit as a child and she's often very sneaky & can be self·obsessed. She's terrified of being "found out" so she didn't wind up being a really great parent though she truly meant well. It's just her fears from childhood affected her ability to be honest. Again, I'm so sorry for the stuff *you* went through & I hope you have help & a trustworthy friend/partner (my mum didn't have help cos "the olden days") • xoxo 💗

I wanted to join a special art class at my school, but all my mom said was "Are you really gonna join?". It's kinda tough. Now I'm doubting if I should even go to the tryouts. They expect me to be like my sister. And it's so damn tough.

This year I took two maths and I’m ( knock on wood) passing both, but she thought I would fail... I could tell. DO THE TRYOUTS!!! Just cause your mom thinks she knows doesn’t mean she does!! You know in yourself that you can do it! Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do. Going through life like that.. it isn’t pleasant. Don’t give up such a great opportunity! 😄

Oh dear! You make me think about my days in high-school. Those were the toughest years of my life so far. I’m 32 now, and life is so different, maybe I have adult problems but Things have changed. I had to rebelled in a way in my early twenties, but I learn to size the risks I take and now my parents respect and support me, they know I’ll be responsible. Even when we are different I learn to respect (most of the time) their ideas and what makes them happy... now having them in my life gives me the strength to follow my passion, to be myself, to pursue happiness. Make the best out of your choices, be kind to yourself imagine you are your own friend who needs some words of encouragement and learn to make mistakes! Don’t be hard on yourself.

[@Project32HMT32]

I had a father growing up but we were never and still aren't close. I see him every day and there's no feelings of hostility, but I've only ever been comfortable enough to utter a simple sentence to him or only talk about important things like what time an event is. My moms always been the one who I did EVERYTHING with. Its like my dad only existed economically. Talking to him is always awkward and we never have lengthy conversations. Sometimes he'll ask how Im doing and I'll say "ok" and that'll be the end of it

[@kaet8333]

Same, but my father is a choleric that expects everything to be perfect and my parents often argue with eachother. He also often yells at my and my brother for small things, but fortunately he only visits us for the weekend and holidays. I didn't have a grandfather growing up, my first grandmother had two husbands, but she split with the first one (that's my fathers father, my grandmother often says that they behave similarly) and the other one died. My second grandmother's husband died too, the only male rolemodel I've had growing up was my brother, but I hated him up until last year, he was and still is weird, but he is also caring and compationate. I also have an uncle but he and my aunt live like 30 km away from here, and we visit them only on ocassion. Me and my father don't talk much, and as of now we just hate eachother for the things that happened in the recent past, but neither one of us wants to change. He just gets in a cycle of doing something stupid, like drinking with shitty neighbours whom he calls friends, he gets drunk, my parents argue, he leaves for work, life goes on, the weekend comes and it happens all over again almost every week. He doesn't see his own flaws and blames everything on others. And my parents can't even divorce because of money, paperwork and other stuff. I grew up mentaly healthy because it either got worse over the years of I just didn't notice, I'm just glad that I turned out fine. Sorry for this being so long.

[@Project32HMT32]

Family can be difficult, but I think its important to keep in mind that anyone can be considered family, not just blood relatives

[@kaet8333]

@Moon To be honest, my father is the only thing that is wrong with my family and my life in general. I have friends, I am healthy, I love the rest of my small family, we have money but he is providing the most to me and my mother, so even if they don't love eachother we at least can live good lives when he leaves. I only said how it is when he is around, but when he isn't our lives look normal. I know everything could be way worse, but that doesn't mean I can't ever talk about this topic. So, don't feel bad for me, everything is ok most of the time anyway.

[@EchthelionII]

This fits me as well, me and my dad don't really have anything in common or do anything together, except occasionally play board games on the weekends, it's me and my mom who usually do things together and it's her I prefer to do things with, like I always preferred her to teach me to drive, she took it seriously and actually taught me important things and almost talked about it constantly while driving, like giving tips on what to do and where certain things are located, my dad just sat there and only spoke a few seconds before I had to do something like stop at the stop sign or turn on the blinker, one little mistake I made he wouldn't stop joking about it and it drove me crazy and made me a little mad, I still don't have a drivers license, I have a learners permit, and I'm 22. Well, not the divorce thing, hope it gets better.

My mom runs into me, and I try to hide at the side of the couch, knowing she'd probably yell at me. My mom says "Honey, tell me what's wrong." I tell her how I was upset about finding the least eggs, and she yells at me to get over it, it's not a big deal. Ha, maybe one of her daughters finding the least eggs by a landslide wasn't much for her, but it was for me. And up to this day she tells me that I never tell her anything.

[@pdpgrgn]

Some of these things work both ways : 1. If your parents were very lenient, you don't value rules. 2. If your parents didn't punish you, you start believing that you can do whatever you want and get away with it. There is no one correct way of parenting. You have to maintain a balance. You may never get the perfect balance, but an achievable good balance varies between individuals

[@ip1136]

And that is called neglect, my dear. So in other words, it's also toxic. Don't try to normalize these kinds of dynamics by saying there is no perfect parenting. No, there isn't, but there is good parenting. You don't have to be perfect. You have to care, try and reflect though.

@Matt T. Child abuse is not such a straightforward concept. Abuse doesn't necessarily have to be physical. If you raise your child to believe that they can get away with anything and they can do whatever the hell they want, it's also a kind of child abuse.

Like I know you can’t know if you’re still going to be with your baby’s mother or father. But please don’t force your kid to live in a household with people that are full of crap. My mom choose her husband over me and my brother and forced us to live unhappy with her. If you really love your child let them be happy with or without you.

[@cloudydreams276]

[@Snow-sx5ev]

Ha, jokes on you, my mom read to me all the time and I still have terrible social skills

[@Snow-sx5ev]

@@aasuna385 I guess...? I love reading and I'm one of the best readers in my school (not a very high bar) I think you took this to literally

[@steveberg4332]

Ha jokes on you! your mother raised you right and u still failed...

[@xsweetiebloomx605]

Same. Well, I can now express myself completely fine when writing, but my social skills are incredibly low. It sucks.

[@strider9116]

Same, I'm like an introverted extrovert. It's weird, but I've grown to deal with it. Where as my brother wasn't read to as much as me, and he barely started getting better at talking at the age six. it's been three to four years now, as he's nine. He can talk just fine, but he's got an accent that nobody else in my family has, nor the people he's around daily. For a large period of time, he only read non fiction, whie I only read fiction. He reads a lot of the books I read at his age now, and I continue to hate most non fiction books.

[@TheScrowlingFender7]

I grew up with strict grandparents. I became a people pleaser who's afraid of things that got my grounded in the past.
