Yes I know this question is weird, but my extended family has been insisting to me that my childhood was fantastic (unwarranted, I never complained) so I want other opinions.

Please don’t answer “wElL dId yOU fEeL iT wAs TrAuMatiC?” **I don’t care about how I feel.** I want to know about how an objective person should feel. Also I live away from my family now.

I don’t wanna mislead any1 or be melodramatic so if u have any qs pls ask

**Money**: Wealthy. But at the same time, I had to forgo basic needs. Like if I was rly thirsty and we were driving… too bad. They couldn’t pay for a water bottle for me. My parents are also very logistically helpful in terms of my goals and helping me get my shit in order.

**Parent Relationship:** They’re friends, I guess? But one of my parents has almost died multiple times from different health issues. This parent also compulsively cheats on the other parent. They’ve both been deeply suicidal at different times.

**Sexualization**: I was/am sexualized pretty badly. There are no boundaries. My dad will walk in the bathroom when I’m in the shower and chat with me. My mom will randomly touch my butt. My dad’s friends also want to have sex w/ me and he wants me to look nice for them when they come over. I was also molested by a relative. That kind of sucked lol. It wasn’t violent but I was really close to them so that wasn’t great. Old men were also regularly extremely predatory to me. My parents will call me names if I don’t let them touch me or hold my hand lol. When I was going through a promiscious phase my parents also took my phone and made fun of how many guys were messaging me

**Other Traumatic Events:** I was sexually assaulted in hs and my mom found out, and got very mad at me. The police kinda made fun of me lol

**School**: I have ADHD and was constantly berated by my teachers. I was also in a competitive sport, and my family bragged about me compulsively. I was so exhausted I felt like I was constantly about to have a psychotic break. My coach was also very groomy lol. My other coach is now in jail for touching my teammate. I also didn’t really have any good friends in my childhood, except one that I still have today. The rest were very mean to me.

**Extended Family/health:** The family has a lot of suicides and general mental health issues. My parents regularly denied me medical care, like hearing aids, dental care, birth control, or mental health care, even though they have the same mental health issues. Besides my grandparents, and the person who MOLESTED me, my extended family kind of ignored me and actively excluded me from things
