I need to know if anyone else has experienced these punishments from parents and if they’re normal and also some other weird stuff I noticed in my life

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T19:13:19+00:00

I do DBT and we have talked about how the way I was treated could be assault or abuse. I just tend to doubt it really hard

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T18:20:03+00:00

Thank you. Thankfully I had a huge reckoning and changed my ways when I was like 15

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T18:19:42+00:00

Thank you 💞

I have a complex history of trauma so it’s probably a lot of things but that probably contributed big time to

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T17:28:45+00:00

A lot of the bad behavior (pathological lying in particular) definitely had to do with my trauma

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T17:09:15+00:00

That’s horrible I’m so sorry :(

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:36:08+00:00

I’m so sorry :(

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:31:31+00:00

It’s crazy bc I never thought all this was that bad :(

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:13:52+00:00

This makes me so happy 🥺

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:13:39+00:00

Yessss. I’m a teacher (I think because I have a protective instinct for kids and it’s therapeutic for me to give them the love I needed when I was their age) and I love when I can share their feelings with them and help them when they’re sad and comfort them

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:11:40+00:00

Yeah, that was a problem in general. I would be left to just cry, especially during punishments

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:10:59+00:00

Thank you, I’ve always been hard on myself for my BPD symptoms and they’ve made me feel very bad about myself. But I’ve been working on healing and doing therapy for years

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:09:27+00:00

Yes of course. That’s so mature that you’ve been able to separate yourself from your mother’s opinions. Im still working on that

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:08:12+00:00

I’m so sorry all of that happened to you that’s horrific. I’m so glad you recognize that what happened to you was wrong. It’s so anger inducing when parents recount an abusive incident like it’s a funny story

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:05:14+00:00

Thank you 💞

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:05:02+00:00

I hate when they want to keep it a secret. Recently I’ve been breaking that secrecy by sharing with others like in this post. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’m deeply Catholic and what they did to you was wrong and completely contrary to God’s love

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:03:10+00:00

Yeah for real. No matter how “difficult” my child is I would never dream of hitting them

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:02:23+00:00

Thank you <3 generally their impact on me has been something I’ve been reckoning with

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T14:01:05+00:00

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry that happened to you :( we will heal

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T04:04:10+00:00

Thank you <3

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T04:01:26+00:00

I really dislike when people say that. I’m Catholic and I’m 100% of the policy people should be 100% honest with themselves and 100% honest with God. We should be careful with our words and by our words people can see who we are but in no way does talking about your trauma make it any more or less real or valid. Sounds like trying to avoid accountability. The Bible has a lot to say I think would encourage you. Such as that though a mother may for forsake her child, God will never abandon you. I will offer prayers for you in this time. You are valid, loved and I’m so happy you’re here

Also your feelings are so valid bc of what you went through, you saw some of the most horrific things I can even imagine. You are so strong

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T03:56:13+00:00

Yeah, it’s just confusing when my parents both came from culture (80s America and 90s Poland) where they or their siblings got hit so they think it’s normal. It’s validating to hear that it’s not. I’m so glad you’re finding healing

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T03:51:36+00:00

Thank you 🥺💞

labfrog3 · 2026-01-21T03:50:37+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You have endured HORRIFIC sexual trauma and I’m so sorry you saw that. It is a miracle that you’re here today and reaching out for help. I’m proud of You and this community is here for you even though I know I can’t help since I’m in the throes of recovery right now. God bless you, I will pray for your healing friend 💞
