• Speaking of brainwashing, its just do easy for a parent to abuse their position of power and like manipulate their children however they want.

    Like if you got born into a crime family, you would have no choice but to live your childhood/teen years doing their bidding…

    You could be born into a family of racists, a family of terrorists (think: Bin Laden), or a morally corrupt rich family (like: every politician ever)

    Brainwashing is even more effective when you show affection 50% of the time.

    But I think I just have a better “sus meter” than my mom anticipated, I detect her her bullshit all the time. Mom thinks I’m a gullible little servant that will obey her for the rest of her life. I guess being birthed by a manipulator naturally give you that BS Detector DNA?

    But my brain is so weird… I get weirdly attached to my… emotionally abusive mother… I think I might have a bit of stockholm syndrome… I think I just really fanticise about the idea of family that I always desired…
