In my family, we call that "childhood trauma"

[–] Blahaj_Blast@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think my family called it "I'll give you something to cry about"

[–] hollyberries@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

trauma dumping


  • "man up"
  • "quit being a pussy"
  • "you really want something to cry about?"
  • "go get me the board of education" (the board was a paddle with slots cut into it)
  • "i didn't bring you into this world but i sure will take you out of it"
  • "your own mother didn't give a damn about you, what makes you think i do?"

that last one hurt a whole lot more than the board

Oh my GOD! that's horrible! I'm so sorry. Those last two are just awful. I could never say that to mine.

Definitely unlocked some memories involving the word >!pansy!<

It looks like there's too much going on for your spoiler.

looks like there’s too much going on

That's what my psychologist said lol sorry! This post was extremely topical and uhhh yeah. I'm good today 😅

The funny thing is, the p***y thing is what cracked my egg. I was talking about a time I got bullied, which got derailed to some issues at home, and that word came up a lot and from there it was a big "oh shit" moment a couple days later when the information finally processed lol

The spoiler didn't render properly for me in Memmy, but on the website it worked. Weird. I'll report it ty! Blahaj Zone Logo

I'm glad to hear you're doing better! Are you saying that "oh shit" moment happened a couple days after talking to the psychologist? That honestly sounds better than my realizing while laughing at egg_irl 😅 Self-diagnosed by memes twice now!

Pretty much lol I was cleaning and having a bad day, rummaging deep in my brain and realised that much of my childhood was being called a p***y and soft even though i always fought back. I picked up one of my partner's skirts and put it on my lap out of curiosity and that euphoria washed over me and yeah. I put it on and took it for a spin (lol) and aaaaaa """", blahaj, trumpet
