Did you ever ref for your parents’ verbal confrontations?

[Rosexøxø]

If you ever seen your parents argue when you were a kid, did you ever listen in, and then try to see who was in the wrong and who was right?

I used to do that, and I wonder if anyone else has done similarly at times in their childhood.

If not, how did you react/respond to your parents arguing or engaging in disagreement.

My mom bounced before I could even remember. She came back out of nowhere Christmas Eve when I was 11. She fucked my Dad and bounced again before Santa could even stuff the stalkings. I told my little sister it was all just a dream. Mom didn't exist

I’m genuinely sorry for that. That’s so messed up but it shows what a great brother you were, the type of individual, and young man at that time. Definitely a defining moment and a mature response. That’s something and everything you should be proud of.

I just wanna add

We can be most proud of ourselves for the things we achieve and attempt on our own time rather than anything anyone could ever try and teach us or simply give to us.

It’s better to do great things than to receive nice things. One is merely a gift, and the other is character and a nature that will never leave you and accompany all through your lifetime. I hope you and your sister were still able to enjoy better moments after that together and elsewhere.

And thank you for sharing this. 🙏 💯

She really made us think we were all back together for 16 hours on the most magical day for 11 and 9 year Olds. Hell my grown father fell for it. I tried my best to protect my little sister, but even in that I failed. She told me when I was 19 that our uncle had molested her when he lived with us the year before. Sadly he went missing before I could get my hands on him. After 7 years, they declared him dead. Some day, they will find him in his car in the Susquehanna River. I feel bad my cousins will have too experience that day.

I would usually scold them both for being immature and tell them I don't want to hear them arguing.

😂 good for you. It seems funny to imagine a child saying this to their parents but at the same time I was allowed some vocalizing privileges with my parents too. It was for the best and not for some anarchy type of rebellion or something horrendous.

Hopefully your little correction gave them a bit of a wake up call!

[jahaims]

Nah, they were both still immature idiots.

[Rosexøxø]

Apologies for that.

Not at all, they rarely got into it.

[Rosexøxø]

That’s so healthy! When my parents would holler I’d just think well who started this mess? Who threw the first stone and such. Glad overall you didn’t have to exposed to the conflict at such impressionable times. 💯

I think that is why nothing really gets to me. I've had relationships where she would say something not nice and I would say... let's go our separate ways for a little while and calm down so we don't say something we regret. I don't like to argue as it can turn ugly, two cool heads are better than 1 or 2 hotheads.

[Rosexøxø]

Nice! I’ll try to remember that saying. Seems helpful indeed 💯
