“Emotionally abusive or manipulative parents often make a practice of constantly questioning their child’s reality and experiences. Our childhoods were full of moments of being told that problematic parental behavior “never happened,” that a problem our parent created doesn’t matter because they “did the best they could,” or that an event that traumatized us “didn’t happen like that.” -Gabrielle Moss (Why You Shouldn’t Feel Bad About Not Talking to Your Toxic Parent)
My mother is insanely guilty of this shit. She even denies the six months we lived out of a fucking car because we were homeless. It’s like, you seriously think we’d just make that shit up, Mom? My brain still hurts from that.
If your concept of reality has been royally fucked up, clap your hands 👏 👏
If you don’t know what’s real and what’s not, clap your hands 👏 👏
If you’ve been fucked up by a parent to the point where you constantly question your own existence, if your concept of reality has been fucked up, clap your hands 👏👏
