What's something TOXIC your parents said or did to you as a child?

[ohshee]

My dad he was my step dad would beat me with a belt anytime I did something wrong ,, one day I lied he told me to go to my room and wait for him he would walk in take his belt of and say drop them ,, my pants would go down I would hear him say how many times do I have to tell you ,, you don't lie but then I would have counted about 12 to 14 stinging belt marks from my ass to my legs and back ,,, and then a day later he would say love you,,, then a few times if I didn't do my home work or something my mom would say ,, well just tell them this ,, and I would look at her and think you have to be able to hear that hard slap on my skin every time that belt hits me ,, and I would just look at her and think why are you teaching my it's ok to lie ,, so I can get BEAT ,, SHE might had done it 10- 15 more times growing up I never said anything to her , but I did make it a point when I had kids I was going to teach them a bigger pain and that was if I cought them lying about anything I was going to make them go tell who ever it might be they lied and that no matter what they lied about or who they lied to it was going to be easier to just take the pain and be honestly son took something from a store one time I took him back to the store found a manger tools him what was up walked back out to my truck and my son said thanks dad for taking it back in for me I will never do it again I, said I didn't do that I just went in there to see what that cop .. pointed over there was in there and to see how long you were goingbto have to stay in jail. Come on let's go , closed my door I hear dad. Wtf what are you doing. ,, I said what's it look like my kid took something from this store I'm bringing him back to return it Come on let's go we walked in found the manager who was now talking to the cop my kid said excuse me sir. ,, every thing froze even time my kid I took this I was wrong and I'm here to pay for it or return it the manager said a few things. My son said dad do you have 5 dollars I said for what he said so I can pay for this I said no he looked at me and said dad lol I said sorry I don't I said I have 25 dollars of yours that the guy down the street dropped off for you raking up his branches I handed it to him he handed it to the manager the manager said you have to go over to the check out and pay for it my kid is 22 now fireman EMT,, 6,7 BIG BAD ASS GOOD LOOKING BUFF KID HAS A HEART OF GOLD never once yelled at him never hit him ,, all I ever had to do was say spppssst look at him he would walk over and say yes dad and what ever it was he was doing or him and his friend I would say hey u or you guys can't do that it's not your house or your things ,, you have to respect it right they would says yes I would say ok great go have fun ,, think before you do, to this day I can hear the truth in the same breath when some one lies to me I could have made every thing my parents did to me be toxic,, or I could change it and make it a positive for someone else today

Wow, that's super fucked up.

When I was about 8 or so, my mom and I were waiting outside of my brother's high school to pick him up. While we were waiting, two of the high school kids got in a fight. I had been bored up to this point and not paying attention, so I didn't notice the fight had started near me. All of a sudden, one of the boys moves out of the way and the other boy slams into me, knocking me backward into a bench, where I fell over and hit my head. I cried and my mother pulled me aside and told me how ashamed of me she was because I had cried in front of everyone, because boys aren't supposed to cry. She was very angry with me and made me go wait in the car.

Oh that must have been terrible. Parents need to learn a child is not actually a property 😕
I never had any such traumatic experience thankfully. It's mostly mental. They were never at home or were never involved in my studies or activities like other parents. And the main thing was that when I used to talk about what happened at school, my mom never listened and was checking her phone. It made me feel unwanted and from that moment i decide to shut down myself and not talk about my life to other people. To this day, it's hard for me to open up or talk like usual. I have never been completely open to anyone even my close friends
But compared to you or what anyone has gone through, this is nothing

"Put that fucking bread down your cheeks are already fat enough"

"Hey, how would you feel about exercising a bit more? Your legs look way too fat"

^I remember that he said that to me when I was 11 years old. That summer my parents sended me to a summer camp and I constantly through about how prettier and thinner the other kids were.

"If you continue living like this you will end up in prison you whore"

That's sad, I remember that feeling of being terrified of an adult, when I was a kid. I went through endless traumatic incidents, I don't think I could list them all to be honest and I don't want to relive them.

I'm biracial, white and Asian. My white dad surprisingly used to say sneaky racist shit all the time until it became unsurprising. It's fucked when your own parents say racist shit against their own family. I have heard similar things in other Eurasian families, makes no sense.

My biological parents were just toxic people. My father died in prison, and for good reason. And as far as I know my mother died in a ditch somewhere.

Not gonna say it was wrong but when my mom got angry, the arguing and yelling won't stop. 🙄

My mother told me that girls are better than boys she let my older sister beat me everyday because I am a boy.

I were told male and females are equal and deserve the same rights. Very Traumatic.
