Abuse by parents is so insidious, especially emotional abuse. Because parents can be fine and supportive and loving until something doesn’t go their way and then it’s guilt and appeals to authority that border on gaslighting.

Because I don’t know what else to call it when a parent says the way they remember it is the TRUTH, negating a child’s experience and memory and then saying that they are right because they are the parent.

Their version of what happened is the official story and a child gets manipulated into believing it or agreeing with it.

And sometimes these relationships don’t necessarily change when the child becomes an adult, sometimes that child standing up for themselves and holding their ground becomes evidence that they don’t “care” and that they are “unfeeling” or “unappreciative” of what the parent has given them.

And sure, maybe overall they are top tier parents worthy of awards, but so many can’t face that at best they have been using abusive tactics to emotionally manipulate their children.

And just because parents are the Authority, and just because society thinks certain things are socially acceptable, doesn’t make it not abuse.

when I was a teen and was overwhelmed with feelings and shit, sometimes I just started to cry for the most simple things like if my mom talked to me in a rude way I would cry nonstop, she always said that my tears were fake “crocodile tears” and that I was “too sensitive”. After that I could not show my emotions anymore to anyone, I stopped crying in front of people, I have stopped to show emotions is like I blocked everything.
Plot twist: now my mom calls me “emotionless or without feelings” lol

What makes it even worse is being an only child with a need to please. You’re torn inside. You know how you’re being treated is wrong, but you feel guilty going against them because you are the only child they have.

What normal children feared: clowns, monsters, the dark, loud noises, etc

What I feared: growing up and getting addicted to drugs, growing up and living in poverty with no teeth and bugs crawling in my house, growing up and having horrible children like the ones on Maury, and falling asleep. No, not because I had nightmares. Because I was legit afraid of the act of slowly falling into unconsciousness.

I mean, what the fuck.

Dating me would include…

I was tagged by @fragilelikeabomb0106 and @doubtersgetnocookies…thanks loves! 

To be honest when I first saw this floating around, and realizing I would get tagged eventually, I had no clue what I would even say about this at first. But now I have thought of a few things I guess I can put. 😛

-First and foremost, you would have to understand and accept my HUGE love for Kai and Evan. Obviously I don’t love them more than you but…the thirst is real. XD

-I want to share EVERYTHING with you. My life, all my hobbies, all my tv shows, etc. 

-You’ll have to understand and accept my occasional bouts of anxiety and depression

-I can be clingy and needy. Sorry.

-I’m thicc and I love food and I love to eat…so if you’re looking for someone fit, that’s not me, and never gonna be me. Sorry.

-I will want to go on many trips and adventures with you

Now for the more important things…

-I will put your feelings and wants and needs above mine 95% of the time

-I am INCREDIBLY loyal

-I will want to take care of you all the time; mentally, physically, and emotionally

-I will want to protect you from everything bad in the world, even though that’s impossible

-If you are sad or upset, I will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I can to make you happy again. I won’t give up until you’re back to feeling yourself again. I won’t be happy until you are.

-I will be your biggest cheerleader and supporter for everything you set out to do

-If something is wrong, I will know. Trust me.

-I am kinky, I get horny at the drop of a hat, I LOVE SEX and physical contact

-I usually will put your pleasure before my own

-Talk to me. About everything. I love hearing what you have to say and I never get bored or annoyed.

-Just as I love to share all my hobbies with you, I want you to share all of yours with me. Even if you don’t think I will like it, do it anyway. I am down for anything that you love.

I think that’s it? I think I touched on all the most important things. 

@extraordinaryxmen does this seem accurate? XD
