Parents like this don't see their children as people with their own growing autonomy, but as appendages of themselves or things they made, and as their self-perceived owners that it is their right and duty to act like fickle and punishing gods. There's nothing to be done to please or appease them, not that anyone should anyway. I'm sorry for anyone who has to grown up like this and hope you get to rebuild for yourself a peaceful life surrounded with trustworthy people.

Exactly. My bedroom was the living room couch and my mom made my little sister sleep with her in bed from ages 2-18 🫠
I slammed the door once as a teenager
No door for months as a teenager
Until a friends of mothers pointed out my room was on the main hallway. And I was a growing teenage girl. The friend was extremely creeped out
Guess who got the door back that night and got yelled at for embarrassing her!
The person who took the door in the first place!
I just straight up didn't have a room. At first I even had to sleep in the same bed with my dad. Well, "bed". Extendable sofa where you had to lay at a specific position to avoid the springs. And eventually just some cheap ass soft foam mattresses that I am sure weren't meant to be directly put onto anything hard.
Though I finally got a bed when I was around 10. Still in the room with dad.
Mother had her own room.
I ended up spending most time on the toilet.
Thank god I was only in that position for a little while. Lived for 2 months in a two bed motel room with my sister, mother and her new BF. I heard so many ungodly noises of her whale flesh suctioning against the bathtub...
That's vile. I'm so sorry.
I had a door but that didn't mean my mom couldn't just walk in anytime
Glad I never dealt with this, I embraced nudity at a young age and always had my door closed. Still took till I was a teen to get my mom to knock first though.
When I started smoking weed I got in shit for waking her up going out back to blaze at night. Got told to smoke in my room with the window open and towel at the bottom of the door. My dad was still required to smoke outside, he was jelly.
I bet you were so straight after that, right?
My entire family: He's probably wanking again.
Narrator: He was sleeping.
My dear mother did this too! We don’t speak.
Lol I didn't have a bedroom from age 12-18. My bed was the living room couch 🫠
I just jerked it with the door open. Not like anyone could see under the blanket. 🤷♂️
