Okay, parents are confusing. Even if you have a great relationship with your parents, sometimes they do something that feels hurtful and cruel. Even if they don't mean it, it hurts. A lot. If it's commenting on how your skirt is too short or throwing something important away, it can feel confusing and strange. What you are about to read is very important.
Even if you have a great relationship, it is okay to think that what they did is wrong. There are things that your parents made mistakes with raising you. You are allowed to feel upset and annoyed and hurt and angry. That is okay.
Remember, it is okay. If your parents make a comment about how clothes are small on you, it can and often will feel devastating. In most cases, they are not trying to say anything about your body. Our parents were raised in a different generation. Remember, if your parents say something that feels wrong fundamentally or just wrong, tell them. Please do. In most cases, they will listen and apologize.
~Remember you can always message me.

P.S. If your parents are abusive in any way, please call the child abuse hotline. The number is 800-843-5678. Please find a safe place.
