So instance I'm currently living (but only temporarily) with my parents and will soon be moving to the US with my husband and our son.
As an adult, mother and wife, I've verbally stood up against my father on a couple times he was unfair. I recently called him out when he was verbally antagonizing my mother. He felt resentful and gave me the cold shoulders but realized that wasn't working anymore. I wasn't going to back down and apologize just out of blind obedience. I used to fear him during my childhood and youthful years. Not anymore. He's much older, shrinking and a lot weaker. My younger brother doesn't fear him at all. Now, I speak up my mind and don't back down for anyone. I'm no longer that quiet, obedient young woman from the past anymore.
Does does this fear-based compliance he raised both my brother and me have an expiration date eventually? Becuase if he tries it now it's not going to work at all.

They’ll do it as long as you live with them because the believe they have control over you until you’re gone
I get that but it's losing effect. He realize his ''giving me the cold shoulders'' techniques wasn't going to make me back down so he had no other choice but speak to me the following day. Also, my mother stood up for me too and called him straight on his BS. He has no one backing up to him.
Yes, those shitty parents gets their due.
Nope
Strangely, I find myself speaking way more (if someone is in the wrong) than when during my younger years. I no longer act like that once quiet, socially awkward young woman. I don't care about pleasing others anymore. I find the role of the quiet, obedient girl pathetic by now.
Yes, I’m very happy that you’re like that most people are like that when they get olderyou’re learning. You gotta defend yourself and stand up for your riots.
