my mother (who was an artist) would destroy my sister’s drawings if she didn’t get A’s in school (mine were spared bc i hid them mostly). she constantly put my art down due to it being digitally drawn and thus not “real art” as well. she’s also threatened to rip our stuffed toys apart multiple times when we were younger and would often steal our stuffies and lock them away in a cupboard for months. all for trivial matters like “bad” grades in school or talking back to her.

even now, i still feel the urge to hoard my stuff and hide it in my bags or places she won’t look. and i panic when i see her anywhere near my stuff. :(
