4 things I've learned from my mom:
One. Don't try to be happy. If you are, turn it off. It'll only end up in you getting hurt.
Two. Dont speak up for yourself. Stay quiet. Do as your told. You'll only be accepted if you please the people around you.
Three. Be mature. Doesn't matter if your only 11 years old, you have to be an adult. Stop playing games. Stop making excuses. Doesn't matter if they're true, they won't believe you.
Four. You dont need help. You just need to get over it and move on. Even if your hurting to the point it affects your body drastically, get over it. It's not real.
Five. Don't make any noise. Whether it be your bed creaking, or accidentally hitting a chair. Disturb your mom and say goodbye to everything you've worked for. All the praise will disappear.
Six. Never. Miss. An. Assignment. She will know, and all the electronics, books, and freedom will be traded for a schedule of working, working, and working. Even if there's nothing to do.
Seven. No dilly dally-ing. Make sure everything gets done in the optimal amount of time. Forget to do it? Must have been her freedom. Voila, taken.
Just wanted to brainstorm all of the things my oh so great mother has taught me. There's probably more, but my brain cant think when crying in my bathroom.
Funny thing is- she says to enjoy my youth and freedom, then says I'm spoiled and should be exposed to more, well, "real life situations" and then all she does is lecture me and yell.
Beautiful... Trauma has appeared! My mom was raised in an abusive household and has her standards for any type of trauma set to extreme heights, and doesn't think anything she's doing is wrong. She thinks she's molding me into this perfect girl in every way, inside and out, when in reality she's just making a fake. XD
