If your parents ignored you, or if they are just not emotionally available, or if they yell a lot, that is a type of trauma.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think my parents had a hard time dealing with me.
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.
I didn't see deep emotion from my parents. It was all very polite and very surface. I never knew how anybody was feeling.
If my parents ever had to ground me, they didn't really know what that would mean, because I was inside most of the time anyway.
My dad used to ignore me when I was a kid. He couldn't stand my voice, so he just used to ignore me, and then he'd impersonate me.
When I told my parents, 'I'm going to be an actor,' they screamed and wept and freaked out.
Hour after hour, they shouted at me, accused me, insulted me and members of my family.
My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind.
My parents never talked to me like I was a kid. Maybe that's why I've been seen as mature.
My parents just neglected me, I wasn't abused or anything.
