did anyone else realize they don’t actually know what “normal” family behavior looks like?
sometimes i’ll tell a story from my childhood thinking it’s completely normal and people will just stare at me like “that’s not okay at all.” meanwhile there are other things i’m still unsure about because growing up around it for so long made everything feel normal at the time
it’s honestly confusing trying to untangle what was actual discipline/parenting vs what was manipulation, emotional neglect, guilt tripping, etc.
has anyone else had moments where you suddenly realized something from your childhood really wasn’t normal?
