“When my parents commented negatively on anything I said or did as their first reaction. It taught me to keep secrets, tell lies, and avoid informing them of anything until right before or after it happened…”
“…They once wanted me to get a job, so I did. It was full-time seasonal and paid well, just a 30-minute drive away. They scolded me for not finding something closer. They made me call my manager and resign. I was 16 or 17 at the time. This wasn’t a one-time thing. It was really frustrating growing up, always expecting a negative reaction to things.”
