The one about the 4 year old hurting her baby brother makes sense in a dark way. If her parent is willing to beat her instead of being an actual caring parent, then yeah she's going to think it's acceptable to do it as well. Perpetuating a cycle like that is pretty sad.

My mom when I started highschool would call me numerous times worried. I would often time either be watching cartoons. Or my phone died and I would forget to charge it once at home. She would call a few times on my phone then if I didn't pick up the phone she'd call the landline phone. This started 7 years ago! I would pick up the landline phone and she'd be on the other side at work in despair. Like: "Oh my God Nikita! Is everything okay with you?! Why are you not answering me?!" and then I'd tell her something like: "Mom I'm fine! I was at home watching tv and my phone died. You don't need to call me!" I'm 21 and I sometimes receive messages from her during the day asking how I'm doing. Expecially now that I had some gastritis related issues. And when I respond short texts she thinks I don't care. And if I'm not quick enough she'd flood the chat. Until I remind her I'm not always on my phone nor do I care to read every single message I receive.

My aunt and uncle went on vacation so I got to stay in their huge house alone and watch their two dogs. It was a breeze, I was very familiar with these dogs since I practically grew up around my cousins. One night, I had a major panic attack and tricked myself into thinking someone was outside and trying to break into the house. It was to the point I heard voices, it messed me up. I had never felt something like that before. I stayed in the same position the entire night until the sun came up, just staring at the only window that I didn't close the blinds for. Obviously, I was tired af. So I took a nap for a while after taking care of the dogs, they took a nap too. Things were good. I wake up to knocking on the door, so I look out the little window on the side and it's my dad. I open it and he says "I'm very disappointed in you" and starts going on this screaming, yelling rant about how he's been trying to get a hold of me. I try explaining to him the situation and why I had missed his calls but my dad is a stubborn shit who doesn't know how to calm himself down. He doesn't listen to anything you have to say. So he's screaming at me and I'm sitting here just crying, because it's been a rough 2 days. Keep in mind, I had kept in touch with them the entire damn week. It had been fine. I was literally 19 almost 20 when this happened. Like how tf are you gonna yell and scream at your adult daughter like that? Wtf are they gonna do when I eventually move out. It's very clear neither of them trust me (my mom was in on this too, over the phone) to take care of myself even though I've been doing it for years. I looked at my phone and there were over 30 messages of him sending "ANSWER YOUR PHONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" I can't wait to get out of this hellhole.

Reminds me of the time my sister (23) was having a mental breakdown, crying in the bathroom in the dark. Mom wanted to know why, but my sister didn't know exactly why. Probably because she was going through the emotions and couldn't think straight. Mom got more aggressive in asking, but my sister just kept on crying her eyes out, and wanted to be alone. Mom then says "Quit your crying or I'll throw a water bottle at you, then you'll have somthing to cry about." I have no idea where that came from, but I might have punched my mother if she did do that. I say might becuase my mother's mother abandoned the family to start like 3 different family's. So she never really had a supportive mother to begin with, and she probably doesn't now how to handle this kind of situation. But threatening to hurt your own daughter, when her anxiety and depression has taken over her, to the point where she dosent even know why, is like putting water on a grease fire.

Tormenting me until I'd cry and beg her not to leave me and then she'd be all like "Aww mommy is here, no worries, you're a little b*tch but you can stay I guess" And then I'd be grounded. I remember when I was in elementary school and I cut off a bit of my dogs hair in summer (you could not even see it) and she locked me in my room for an entire week, only allowing me to come out if I needed to use the bathroom, I only got once a day food and it was just a slice of dry bread and a glass of water.

I know about this whole thing, because it’s just a thing that people who don’t care for boundaries and privacy generally do this to their child, it doesn’t happen to me most of the time since I usually clear all the apps that I’m on before I give/asked to it to them. But honestly it’s a move that says they’re basically crazy/strict to the point where they don’t care if it’s another person’s they’ll go through it, they aren’t being negligent, their just being too strict on it, you might aswell check if 3-10Y.O atleast even at 11-12, but by 14 mostly they should be able to trust their child without going through their phone

[@ravengray3095]

I did not expect this subreddit to make me think of my own abusive father, but oh well. One of the main things he did was starting pretty much when I could walk at about 4 (I had a disability that made it so I was walking a little later than most people) he would force us (me and my two brothers who were one and two years older than me) to go on walks with him, and because I was the youngest and slowest, he would leave me behind, in the middle of the city, sometimes for hours, simply because I “couldn’t keep up”. It’s a miracle I wasn’t kidnapped or murdered or something. This happened more times than I can count, and he did it on bike rides as well

Forced to baseball as I was sobbing hysterically in his car to baseball, even the other parents at baseball were concerned

[@toddoughty2043]

As I watch this I can't help but think of all the crap moments I had growing up, my parents never trusted me and were constantly undermining any hobby or outlet I took up. They stole from me and it was a common "joke" that I was not as "important" as my siblings. I am now in my mid 40s and we are still patching things up but a huge part of that was that the moment I turned 18 I stopped putting up with their stuff, I stopped attending any and all family events and was very vocal about why, especially in front of friends and family and would basically tell them I was simply reacting to how I had been raised. Years of mistrust and bad blood, but now we tolerate each other and are slowly moving forward. To anyone going through stuff like this, just remember, you are your own person and regardless of how someone treats you you are wonderful and strong and can make it through this.

[@tannerbanner1660]

That's literally what my parents also do. A big cause for my depression

[@justalittleturtle5600]

Ugh, yes. Since around 16 or so, I’ve become more vocal about my mistreatment in my family. For the last couple of years, I’ve also begun opening up to people about the abuse and how I’m treated. After watching our interactions, people are now telling me they agree that what my family is doing isn’t right and I shouldn’t put up with it. It’s such a huge relief to be told I’m not the bad guy here and that I really have been wronged. For years I’ve been gaslighted by my family into believing I deserved the abuse and treatment and that I was overreacting and making shit up for no reason. Even my siblings tell me I have some memory problem and that my mother isn’t an abusive pos. But now that I’m letting my friends into my family secret, they’re telling me they thought it was wrong too. I recently found out my friend who’s father has narcissism and a family friend both believe my mother suffers from the disorder. I’ve speculated for years about it, but I always convinced myself I was just trying to find an excuse to hate my mom or find a reason for her actions. But no, thankfully, I’m not the only one, and the other two came to the conclusion completely independently of me. That really helped my suspicions about my own reasoning behind my belief. Unfortunately, I can never bring this up to any of my family, because they’d simply tell me off, then go tell my mother. And my mother would beat me for even speculating that she may suffer from narcissism. Hopefully one day she gets the help she needs, because even if it isn’t narcissism, something is deeply broken inside her, and the people around her suffer for it. I can only imagine the suffering she must be going through on the inside too.

My room was in the open basement, no walls separating my room from the laundry room. I had to tell my mom to knock before coming down for years, as I entered highschool I just started walking around the room nude. She stopped searching my room around the same time because I started using home alone style traps in my drawers. The joy I felt when the mouse trap snapped on her hand while I was in the kitchen. Her biggest mistake was relying on me for so much of the home upkeep she literally couldn't live without me. All cleaning, 70% of the cooking, the laundry, even bills as soon as I got a job. I was able to threaten her with leaving because she needed me far more than I needed her. When I finally moved in with my grandpa as his caregiver I almost never go back because the house looks like a dumpster. She's too lazy to clean herself and too lazy to make my little brothers do it. She still can't get by without my constant help. That is karma at its finest. She lost all power over me and can't control my brothers because I did more parenting than she did and now they barely listen to her.
