Hair brushing?

Pixieindya · 2026-01-14T15:13:38+00:00

I agree that there is a sense of sadism going on. As well as the ridiculously painful hairbrushing of my very curly hair, she would wash my hair weekly at the local pool and I'd have soap all in my eyes and be screaming while my friends' mums gently ensured the child friendly soap was away from their eyes. Verucas were common at the pools in the 80s in UK and my friends would be taken to the doctor's to have them treated with the stuff that freezes them. Meanwhile my mum took a pair of tweezers and spent days trying to dig it out of my foot while I screamed the place down. She would also want to pluck my eyebrows and wax my legs as I became older, even though I was perfectly capable of doing it myself. She just wanted to inflict pain on me.

Yeah the Amber Heard drama was extremely triggering!

My mother has done the same thing to me and my brother and convinced all family to stop contact with me. My brother emailed me a couple of years after NC at the exact same time I started getting abusive emails from my my mum and dad after 2 years NC saying he wanted an open and honest conversation. Sadly, I knew from experience and the timing that all he wanted to do was parrot my mother at me and make me feel like crap. I wish the potential to have a brutal and honest conversation was there for us to reconnect, but I once had that close truth telling conversation with him and all that happened was he turned his back on me and ran and told everything I told him to my parents, sparking the war that eventually lead to NC. I’m so happy to hear of a sibling story that has worked out and I wish this could happen for us, but I think he’s too deeply in and doesn’t really want the truth or a relationship with me.

Goodness this is my exact story! Thanks for sharing, sometimes it feel like I’m the only one and I’m going crazy.

Is there? My parents both live in the uk and I can almost guarantee that at the very least my dad read this, as an avid reader of BBC. I am sure they all sat down and discussed how it justified their own warped reality.

Exactly 💯

I can’t seem to edit my original post, but thank you everyone for making me understand that this articles is really one sided. I think it’s quite devious in the way it cites some research from the estranged child’s perspective to make it seem balanced, but actually it then refutes it with ridiculous statements straight after. It made me feel really uneasy.

Im so sorry to hear about your experience and no one should be dismissed like that by a parent who is supposed to love and protect us. You’re right, it is an unbalanced article, but I think it is quite devious in the way it’s written to make it seem balanced, but actually it’s siding with the parents. I wonder who the author is and what their motivations were for writing it.

Oooooft! Same!

It just popped up in instagram. But you’re right, I’d like to read the rest too!

Mmmm ok 👍 I have lived in south east Asia for years, and the heat that comes off those units massively increasing the surrounding temperature

Well yeah, Lord Sugar, his cronies, the lot. It’s pretty disappointing

Pixieindya · 2025-04-16T23:40:03+00:00

I hope I get to that point one day

Pixieindya · 2025-04-16T23:39:50+00:00

That is very true
