I don't want to say good girl because I don't think I'm a bad girl, but I was very good at following all the rules.
Compliant.
Very good.
That's a perfect word to describe.
Yeah, absolutely.
So that's how I grew up.
And then
The thing I always say to everybody is I left my dad's house and went straight to my husband.
So I was very compliant growing up.
I was a very compliant wife.
I've had lots of children.
I've done all the right things.
And then I just couldn't do it anymore.
And so now that I've left, I've realized that he was probably just telling me what he was told to tell me while we were younger, but it's made me feel bad because it was a lot of
how he didn't like the way I looked.
I wasn't the standard of beauty, I guess you could say, in our religion.
And so he would say things to me like, well, you're cute.
And I would be like, but I want to be beautiful.
Well, you're not beautiful.
You're cute.
