My parents took pride in making my early teenage years a living hell. I still loathe the time that I had to spend dealing with them when I was 13-14. Years before that even as young as 6 and 7 I started to realize that not all kids were treated like I was and it wasn't normal. I'm an only child so alot of pressure was put on me. It was tough trying to grow up and form your own identity but you're nothing but a verbal punching bag. My mother was the worst at that time. Every day she should come home from work, and scout the house for anything she could yell at me for. Before she even took her shoes off she started yelling. If she had nothing to yell at me for, she would insult me. "You actually left the house looking like that? My god" (I refused to wear anything but hoodies and jeans, nothing immodest or innapropriate at all.) She insult my hair, My clothes, my grades, My lack of friends. And if I started crying, oh boy, then she would start attacking my goals. I wanted to join the military and become a weapons engineer of some sort. It was a very crucial part of me at that point. She would say "how could you ever join the military if you just cry all the time". A few more lovely quotes "you're a worthless asshole" , "you never do anything right" and my favourite "you're not the victim here". Eventually i called cps and ran away. My parents called my cell and threatened me to come home and I wasn't strong enough to say no so I was escorted back by a cop, terrible evening. Literally the next morning my dad wakes me up upbruptly to say "we're not going giving you allowance anymore. You shouldn't have things if you can't appritiate them. And don't you EVER think about crying to CPS again" Both of my parents guilted me relentlessly. I mean damn near every day until they pushed me to attempt suicide in my dad's office. Because of my parents ways I basicly went through the entirety of puberty very depressed, in LOTS of different therapies and some meds. This is turning into a wall of text... Anyway present day my parents and I are on ok terms. Whenever they get angry though, it's the worst fucking time machine ever.
