okay so I wanted to go more in depth about being sheltered
so in my last post thingy chapter whatever I talked about how my mom sheltered me from Halloween so I wanted to elaborate
I'm going to list some of the things my mom taught/did to me since I was born that I think are absurd
• I couldn't eat lucky charms bc they were lucky
• I wasn't allowed to do anything on Sunday but go to church (I'm talking everything like I could eat and pee and that was it)
• I wasn't allowed to talk about "unholy" things
• I was constantly thrown into situations that were far to adult for me like religion and that when I was as young as 4 and I remember this
• I was not allowed to talk about getting drunk or alcohol
• I had to call deviled eggs angel eggs
• my mom sent me to a private Christian school growing up simply because they taught the bible in everything
• I was constantly taught about demons and the devil from a very early age
• she would ground me if I didn't go to church for being sick
• she brainwashed me
I hate how I was taught to be someone I wasn't and now that I am more myself my mom hates it more and more everyday and I'm not saying that it's wrong to raise your kids in a religion it's just not fair to shove it down their throats and to constantly have eternal damnation swirling in my head
this is just a problem I guess I have with organized religion but you shouldn't ever teach children eternal damnation ever that is wrong and hateful and you shouldn't teach children to gate people because of their believes or sexuality
okay so I just feel bad for kids when their parents completely shelter them like I was/am sheltered because it's awful you feel trapped in your own home you feel trapped in the sense that you can't be yourself and you can't be open with your parents in a way I think that you should be able to
some questions I have for my mom
why did you raise me this way?
do you know that you caused my anxiety and depression?
do you even care?
why did you shove this down my 4 year old throat?
why did you think that it was appropriate?
why did you brainwash me?
