    Had a mini panic attack while reading the second part.

    Ah, the joys of unresolved childhood trauma caused by parents who hated each other

      if you’re getting triggered based on memes. you might need to be seeing a therapist and resolving some that trauma.

      i read this and laughed fondly and felt gratitude at how awesome my life is now compared to how I grew up. no more shitty food, no more shitty friends, no more shitty parents. and I get to play all the RPGs I want that everyone mocked me for when I was a kid.

    I think the coolest difference to reflect on is the respect I felt as a kid in my poor friends homes and the disrespect I felt as a kid in my rich friends homes.

    Rich parents see their kids as a burden to their peace. Sleepovers made it super apparent.

    We just go out and touch grass to avoid it. 50/50 chance we end up with an angry farmer chasing us in a field but we could run faster than him and his landrover couldn’t jump the fence.
