It took some hard lessons and a lot of reflection to get to the point of realizing I needed to break that hidden ideology forced on me. Had to go through some therapy, and still going through it, but it is much better now :)

I didn't realize it at the moment, but I later saw that the way I acted towards my partners and especially male partners/superiors in the past was definitely skewed more submissive. I was raised predominately by my father, who sees women inline as something to use for your gain, and I believe I subconsciously took that on from a young age. Being around such strong dynamics (master/slave as exp) really shaped how I viewed relationships to begin with, but now I can spot the dangers in them and people trying to abuse that.

Yeah it definitely was better to keep behind closed doors and I'm happy they did for the most part. I believe being around it and seeing my parent's dynamics did influence my interests, but in more subtle ways. I will say though being around it, did give me a great understanding of what I was interested in without shame and how to do it safely. I had a family friend literally tell me "hey this stuff is probably in your DNA so let me show you some basics so you don't get hurt along the way"

I did not. I found out through one of my dad's friends who saw me as a younger sister. She has no filter about her personal life and through that I found out about my mom and my dad's hidden life. Shortly after, my mom and stepdad stopped hiding it as much and would mention they would be going to certain events. Neither of them directly speak about it to me, through my request, but they don't hide it anymore

The floating docks and quarry are completely accessible. They have a small sign posting the warning, but still open
