I don't think my mother and father ever had any doubts about what I was to be punished for or not. My parents come from a very strictly defined culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents are really well intended, and I think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. But all I did was blame myself.
My parents never raised their hand or fired me. Their way of disciplining me was to tell me what is right or wrong.
My parents came from different backgrounds. My father's was grander than my mother's, so my mother had... to put up with the disapproval of my father's relations.
My parents were always very strict, and they gave me the right beliefs in how to treat people. It was very strict and all about morals - I try to pass that on to my own children.
My parents felt judged by me.
I saw my parents as gods whose every wish must be obeyed or I would suffer the penalty of anguish and guilt.
My parents weren't very strict. They've always trusted me to be independent and make my own decisions. There wasn't really anything to rebel against.
I have never tried to bear a judgment against my own father because I consider that, in our European culture, one does not judge his parents. Now, I have expressed my disagreements with my father on certain points, disagreements related to the way one should express things, something that has also to do with a difference of generations.
I want to say that nobody accuses their parents of abusing them without justification to do that. I didn't just make it up. A lot of things were true and abusive and horrible things that happened to me that my father did.
I didn't have my parents to rebel against, but I had society, and that definitely is what they taught me. Just: Trust nothing.
