To the adults with toxic parents that abused them through childhood: You can stop talking to your parents. If you don't live with or rely on them some way you can just leave and never come back to them. Seriously. It's ok. You're over 18 now you're able to sustain yourself. They can't punish you or take anything away ever again. Once you cut contact they will never be able to hurt you again unless you reconnect. If you experienced trauma in your childhood at the hands of your parents you will not be able to heal from that unless you cut contact for at least a while. I know it's hard to hear but the fact is you really can't heal someone else and while it's admirable that you still have hope they are unlikely to change. I cut contact with my mother 6 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. My PTSD spends more time in remission than ever and I've never felt more free and safe than I have over the past 6 years. You can do it and you have a right to do it. I believe in you.

Kindertines day 24: Box of Chocolates

I love fellonty/montix and I wanted to have opportunity to draw them

Text is:

*next day after helicopter parenting*

Monty: Do you really think it's makes up for yesterday?

Felix: it is a limited edition. You can sell it on the black market

Monty: ... I can work with that

I wonder if my parents realize that they've already lost me. That my smiles are fake and my eyes are constantly searching for escape routes. That I'm just biding my time until I can be free of them. I wonder if they know that I was never theirs to keep.

“Contemporary western kids and teens literally never get to practice being unsupervised, ever, at all, until they are suddenly flung face first into adulthood”

Hey buddy just blow in from stupid town?

I’m convinced half of tumblr youth lib people just don’t go outside. They talk about how American teens never get any freedom and like????? All the times I went to the park, or the pool, or the movies with my friends without being supervised????? Like that’s a pretty common western teen experience going to the movies with friends????? Like genuinely no offense, log off for a bit and look at how things actually are.

Awwww, that's sweet, you're so fucking moronic that you think linear time stopped passing as soon as you became an adult.

Unfortunately, I simply do not have the time and energy to waste on some dipshit who thinks that because 15 years ago they were allowed to do shit that was developmentally appropriate, everyone around the world since then has always been so lucky!!

Alas, I am living in the real world, where I spend every fucking day working with impoverished and racialized teens who aren't fucking allowed to take a bathroom break without adult permission. Who aren't allowed to go to the park alone because it's literally a civil penalty for them to exist in public without their owners parents.

So, sorry, I do log off, and I take direct, concrete action to better these kids' lives every fucking day.

Meanwhile, you?

Well.

You like to project your own idiocy onto others, to shield your ignorance.

It's cute, but it's not actually useful.

im so deeply tired of this pervasive rhetoric that severe helicopter parenting is this sort of softer or "kinder" form of child abuse if it's even treated like something real at all. an innocuous thing to inflict that could never stem from true malice or anything other than the typical fears of a parent worried for their child. only kind parents are merciful enough to see you as means to exercise control rather than a real person. how privileged we are to be stripped of our autonomy and often isolated from anyone outside of the family unit who could tell us this isn't normal, how foolish we are not to see that every blocked-off escape route to the outside world is an act of love. because that's definitely not what we've been told by our abusers our whole lives to keep us in line.

"at least your parents cared about you enough to protect you!" thank you for having so much authority on my trauma! let's trade.

#bingletxt #grab the whole “innocent worried parent who doesnt know the harm theyre causing” narrative by the horns and throw it out the window #this abuse is inflicted by conscious people who know full well what theyre doing. thank you #and its always talked about as if its on the opposite end of the spectrum as child neglect when those too are almost ALWAYS a package deal #wow wanting control over every minute aspect of a child's life and punishing any dissent almost always leads to severe emotional neglect?#who could have possibly predicted this!#child abuse #child neglect #helicopter parenting #ish #sorry i got pissed a bit #vent
