The Consequences of Growing-Up Sheltered

[@QueenOfTheGreen27]

I feel like you can be raised sheltered and know it, but also being sheltered can make you unaware of how sheltered you are.

It’s definitely a scary feeling because it’s like throwing a baby sheep to a pack of wolves (it’s me, I’m the sheep)

I was sheltered. Life has always been challenging for me. I made it through.

I've been shelterd and pampered my entire life. I'm in my 30s, and I have struggles dealing with issues others would consider insignificant. I still rather be privileged than risk losing everything I currently have just for the sake of independence or experience.

I was sheltered and now since I’m in high school, I’m paying for it.

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time seeing even what he said as sheltered. I was on my own since 14, few people taught me anything, I had to pay my own bills, buy my own toiletries and defend myself against constant threats to my physical well-being chronically for decades. You have parents that didn't pimp or starve you? Get you sent to endless programs or taken away? Spend your entire teenage life on your own or in programs? Taken away multiple times by CPS? Molested from toddlerhood to numerous adult SA's, with no protection or legal recourse? Lost a child due to medical negligence because they were prejudged and you were black, teenaged and desperately poor? Had to raise yourself and teach yourself everything you know, including how to drive, make money, build credit, get a GED and go to college, raise children, or even know how to boil pasta? I am just shocked that he called "paying bills since 18" the far end of the spectrum? You want to talk about not being sheltered? How often did you have to defend yourself against r@pists and murderers that your PARENTS forced you to stay with? Did you have to run away so you and your baby weren't KILLED? Had to defend yourself in the hood against gangs and crooked cops? He sounds somewhere in the middle of sheltered and completely alone and neglected. If you were able to stay with your parents, who weren't leaving you in life-threatening situations every day, you are at least somewhat sheltered. Not trying to minimize anyone's pain, but I feel towards him as he apparently felt towards his ex. I have never met someone who had financial support to even 18 who wasn't even remotely sheltered? Nobody paid my bills, I had to buy every car and pay all my bills myself. No one ever bought me razors, shampoo, tampons any of it. I had to figure it all out as a child, while being preyed on and abused from every direction. Not that it's a competition, it's certainly not, but I also think it's important to point out that trauma can affect someone much more deeply than this. If you had loving or supportive parents at all, if they ever did anything for you besides abuse you, you're lucky. I have no positive memories of my parents, and few of my siblings. My entire life was hell and trauma. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
