'Fun' fact. My mother took the door off of my bedroom when I was a kid. Straight up had no door because how dare I have privacy. This being after she read my journal and found out I was gay. Lovely woman, her. Can't die faster.

Parents like this don't see their children as people with their own growing autonomy, but as appendages of themselves or things they made, and as their self-perceived owners that it is their right and duty to act like fickle and punishing gods. There's nothing to be done to please or appease them, not that anyone should anyway. I'm sorry for anyone who has to grown up like this and hope you get to rebuild for yourself a peaceful life surrounded with trustworthy people.

Exactly. My bedroom was the living room couch and my mom made my little sister sleep with her in bed from ages 2-18 🫠
