If there's anything I wish I could do, I wish I could clue in every parent who says or thinks, "my child is my property, not your property!" into what their future will look like

I've gone no-contact with my abusive family - I haven't seen, spoken to, or acknowledged them. This has been for twenty and ten years, respectively, to the parental figures who abused me. I blocked one of their numbers. I call them by their first names when talking about them. I am happy for once, I am free! I haven't harmed myself nearly as often or as horribly.

This is the future you're potentially setting yourself up for. I know this because I was always seen as property first and never as a child. I was never allowed the grace that the adults in my life expected. Is this what you want? If you want property, then do children a favour and just buy a car.

#parenting #abuse #abuse tw #self harm tw #self harm mention tw #sh tw #if you see children as property first and not as human beings first you are setting your child up for terrible treatment i think #inspired after seeing a parent literally *say* their child was **property**#like holy fuck that shit terrifies me to no end #to any child who is being treated like this: it's not right. i am so sorry and i hope something changes.#you are a human being first and foremost and deserve to be treated like such #the knowledge that my 'parental' figure treated their CAR better than me was harrowing (esp. because they treated their car horribly)#like just knowing you're worth less than a fucking car is permanently altering honestly. especially when it's from somebody like that #sorry for the tumultuous posting i've just been so infuriated by this attitude amongst 'parents'
