Mine was like that.

…h my body and was invaded by the paralyzing need not to make a single mistake. That I couldn’t stand the shouting and the name-calling. That it made me feel sick that they hurt me enough to make me cry and then mocked me and punished me even more for daring to shed some tears.

Mine was like that. Sorry you experienced the same kind of upbringing. I remember taking a walk when I was about 7, saying I was running away. Mum shrugged and off I went. I had no where to go, so was back in 10 minutes. 😂
