Both my parents were the prison wardens of my life; without hijacking your post Iβll just say I grew up in a very uncharacteristic way for someone born early 70s. All those memes where they say they rode bikes all day with their friends and had to come home before the street lights came on and mucked about building cubbies etc., I cannot at all relate to. Itβs hard when you can be long out of an abusive situation and it still just randomly pops up for no reason, like youβre out of it but never really free. It took a shamefully long time into my adulthood to realise that I am an adult, and have to employ my own initiative in life. Iβm glad youβre out of that situation, and I hope the random βpop upβ trauma doesnβt trouble you too much ππΌ
