Trigger warning – Toxic male parents
Let’s talk narcissistic parents. Mine was male. I’m testing out new ways to describe them as I have had them try and hush me through the police so I’m trying this way!
I saw this quote, and it really resonated with me. Growing up, I would be the subject of abuse from my male parent. It could be for doing absolutely nothing, mostly it was for being a daughter. In high school, I was chosen to work with Cambridge uni and Time Team on an archaeology course. I went twice. The jealous rage that came from my male parent was awful. I was punished for excelling in school. Any other parent would have been proud. Not my male parent, I was abused for it.
You would have never known what me and my mum went through to get me these opportunities. To make sure I didn’t miss out.
Had it not been for my mum, I would have missed out on many opportunities.
Looking back now, there are so many stories that I could tell.
