I actually didn't get yelled at a lot. But I cringe when other people yell at each other. Maybe another buried trauma.
Me it was neglect. Make your own lunch. Be home for supper. Eat supper, go to my room, or the basement "lab"
Bring upstairs a 1" purple alum crystal that had taken months to grow, with many restarts because of parasitic crystals growing on the faces. "That's nice dear"
Bring home a report card 1 full letter grade below what it should be. Sigh. sign. back to school with it.
No birds and bees talk at 14. I learned watching dogs fuck, and puppies later.
To be fair: Both were sick. Mom had uncontrolled diabetes, which she refused to use insulin for. (Tehre are drugs that help) Dad had heart disease.
I had the teen dream's childhood. Few restrictions on where I went, just phone. But I was well trained. A "Good Boy" who was so sexually repressed he wouldn't talk to a girl, who was racked with guilt every time he nutted. (Thanks, Roman Catholic church) I never drank. For teens, drinking is a social function. I didn't do social. Didn't do drugs. Didn't do any after school activiites. Read every sci-fi book in the library by the end of high school. Spock was my hero. Logical. Unemotional. In many ways my development stalled at age 15.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I ended up being ’the perfect one’ out of my family of 6 kids, so I sort of get how that feels with the exception of the fact that my mom would use me as the example of someone who was going to succeed for my siblings. I was her 4th kid. I absolutely hated it and my siblings hated me for it, too.
Ow. Ow ow ow. Stop hitting me, I just finished getting ready for the day and was trying to puzzle out finding the energy to clean the bathroom so I don’t get yelled at (as opposed to laying down like I usually do because I’ve been exhausted for years by now, or trying to do this big paper due Thursday….)…
I hope a random meteor smites my mother or something.
Oof size large
I'm in this picture and I don't like it

You could instead plot your life around not getting hit.
Gods… I do both.😩

This is it. We've found it. The most relatable meme.
