No, like my siblings were full, had the same exact parents. And it's like we've experienced our parents through different generations. And that creates an interesting dynamic as well. My mom was not a great mom. She was very difficult and not very affectionate. My dad and I actually did have a good relationship when I was young, but he was gone all the time.

And then my mom would actively poison that relationship. She would pointedly make stuff up or exaggerate things that I had done while he was gone so that he wouldn't feel as affectionate towards me. Sorry, I feel like I'm in a therapy session right now. It just always felt like she was trying to pin us against each other.

And this is something that after talking to my sister Jennifer as adults, she has also said is very true. My mom didn't want my dad to love us as much as she wanted him to love her. When I would reach for her hand to hold it, she would pull it away. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we were beaten physically. I had to pick out my switch from the yard.

There was a fiberglass rod from a tent that she used to hit us with. One time, this is probably, this is like the silliest one that you can include that isn't so dark, but I was a dancer. I did competitive dancing as a child. And one of the girls lived on the same, like in the same neighborhood as us. And we were driving by her house and my mom was like, wow, she's so beautiful.

And I went, mommy, am I beautiful? And she went, no, honey, you're just cute. So for a long time, I hated the word cute. And it's just things like that, that, you know, just start to like wiggle into yourself, your subconscious and your self-confidence and just siphon it away. Because if your own mother is telling you, no, you're not beautiful. You're just cute.

It starts to really wear away at your soul. I think we each with our own personalities handled our parents very differently, but specifically my mom. My sister was always dating somebody to get out of the house and be away. My older brother was always just out of the house with friends or he would, he was the golden child.

So he got away with a lot, but also had a lot of pressure put on him that I've now understood now, looking back. And then I was the one that pushed back really hard and called out the bullshit. I'm the one that was like, we're all just going to pretend that what mom just said isn't ridiculous or awful. Like, is nobody else going to point out the fact that she just said something so mean?
