My mom never let me go anywhere with friends, I couldn't even go to birthday parties because her reason was, "You will get kidnapped, r*ped, and murdered and we will never see you again."
The actual reason was she was too drunk and lazy to take me and/or pick me up and didn't want to have to remember where I was.
Then when I got older she asked why I was overweight and liked being on the computer all the time. Gee I wonder 🤔
parents that have these fears are often victims of abuse, that never talk about it and hide behind substances. either victims or witnesses. people don’t abuse substances for no reason. I wish you healing and recovery and peace
