shitty things your parents did to you that you didn't realise till you got older

[TurdBerglar]

my father use to buy food i didn't like so he could have more to himself. like he would get potato chips instead of tortilla chips because i hate potato chips. he himself prefers tortilla chips but since he could have more potato chips he would get those instead. he'd also get tuna fish in oil because i couldn't stand that either. what a dick. he would also convince my mother to cook shit i didn't really like that much either so he could have more. then i would poor myself a bowl of cereal and he'd bitch at me for not leaving him enough milk for his morning coffee.


what a cock head!

Smoke around me constantly as an infant leaving me with permanent respiratory problems?

[TurdBerglar]

they didn't know that shit back then

[hitmonlee]

they never checked up on my school/uni work. never once asked if i had done my homework. never chided me for a bad grade. never suggested i put more effort in.

Left me home on my own on Friday nights (age 7).

My Dad asked me if he could remarry...

What was I supposed to say at age 12?

I cried all through the wedding, and her family said 'isn't that sweet she is so touched by this expression of love'...

[de-nice]

What's that dog...all the smoking that used to go on around us?

My mom had these wild parties when I was the age of 8.

I saw they were drinkin from these cans and having a good ole time.

It was like 3am and everyone's passed out and there's beer cans laying around.

I picked up a beer can and took a huge gulp, only to get a throat full of cigarette butts.

And you never realized this 'til you got older?

[Nuzzolese]

How did you not notice the cigarette butts in your throat all those years?

I got bought some Mr T jewellery when I was about 4, and was expected to 'model' it to the extended fam. I locked myself in the bathroom instead.

My dad used to take me and my brothers to a lake, and he'd leave us to swim in the water while he went off to take pictures of stuff, and go fishing in a canoe. My older brother was only about 8 at the time. We weren't responsible enough to remember things like drinking enough water and putting on sunblock and not swimming too far out. We could have drowned.

He used to take us on trips all the time because he ran in marathons, so he'd leave us to watch ourselves for several hours while he was running the race. We were just alone, in a hotel or at a campsite.

It wasn't that bad I guess, maybe he knew what he was doing, I don't know. Nothing bad ever happened and we WERE getting to go on a trip.

I hung out with a dude who later famously burned down his family home with him inside. I was like 6, he was 21.

ps: He didn't try anything. hahahahaha

Me and my sister hated going to our father's house on the weekends. So, when or if we were ever "bad" (usually in the car), my mom would threaten us with "You're going to live with your father, I'm driving you two there now, blablabla..."

That was one of the worst feelings ever. I remember my heart would pound out of my chest and sometimes I'd puke from the anxiety.

[Randetica]

my dad never did much for us besides going with us to the "fake beach" but later we found out his main reason to go there was to fuck guys in the toilets

[fucktopgirl]

smoking pot and breathing it out in our face, not always but sometime.

I don't know if you can say it's THAT bad..but i remember going into my room after and having a blast drawing.

[beastieangel01]

lots of things.

having a non-loving relationship and letting me think that was normal during my formative years

can't exactly blame them for that though, you either love each other or you don't
