Re: Am I an Asshole?

[elialshadowpine]

I also didn't have normal schooling; I was homeschooled by conservative Christian parents. My dad was abusive and retired military; Mom worked, and he kept her so busy with his abusive bullshit (that I fled to the back room to hide from the screaming because our bedroom bordered theirs and I could hear the words) that she didn't get much sleep, nor did she have much time for us. So... I had very little socialization, and my sister had none.

Come to think, my sister's experience is probably closer. She didn't have anyone outside of family, at all, and because I was meeting people online, Dad started in on the Evils of the Internet, because I moved away with people I met online to get away from the abuse. My life didn't turn out the way I expected (disability, age 18) but at least I was out of that hellhole. My sister is only now at age 24 starting to get the fuck out, taking college classes and looking for work.

Me, I was homeschooled, and I was expected from age 11 to basically be Second Mom to my sister because I was now old enough for Dad to leave the house (Mom was asleep) and for me to watch her... a highly autistic child that was a known firebug and destructo-matic. So, I had that, and Dad's abuse, and then at 16 went into college through state program that pays tuition for teens who pass a qualifying exam, which was really awesome in a way, because it got me the fuck out of the house (for one), and it was an experience that I'm very glad to have had. But, being also autistic, I was all over the place emotionally and mentally.

I was expected to be very mature in some ways but treated like an utter child in others, and there were things I should have been taught that I wasn't. So... yeah, all over the place. Not quite as bad as you had it, though, but enough that I can definitely sympathise. *hugs offered*

See, but when I hear stories like yours, I almost feel bad complaining, you know. Objectively I'd definitely rank any sort of abuse as worse than my experience. My folks are actually decent human beings who tried their best (often failed,yes, but not through malice) and well, sometimes I do think it's just me that's the problem. *Hugs back*
