yeah my family was definitely didnt display any emotions except anger. and with 5 girls in that house, none of us knew how to express or deal with emotions in a healthy manner. my dad recently mentioned (as if he were proud) that the last time he saw me cry was kindergarten.

lol it sounds like he thinks the last time you were sad was in kindergarten

This comment reminds me of a vid I watched on fb or something about this half Japanese half black girl growing up in Japan and she’s talking about how difficult it is and how she’s been bullied but she realized how much that hurt her mom when she’d tell her about it so she stopped telling her mom about the bullying in kinder/grade 1 and just bore the burden alone from then on

Then they’re interviewing her mom and she’s like “yeah my daughter had some troubles when she started school but they stopped after first grade and she’s been pretty happy and hasn’t had to deal with harsh behavior since then :)” it’s really sad

oh yea I also saw this video and noticed the same thing. i really felt for the girl that she has to carry the burden alone

I actually really love how open Demi Moore has been with her book. Not a lot of people at her level of fame are willing to admit the problems in their life or the terrible things they’ve done and how it effected their families

[alienjiive]

Yes, ia.

[tucker]

Unless they did a second episode that I haven’t seen it was Rumer and Tallulah on the show, not scout

I didn’t cry much growing up but I find the older I get the more I cry lol

[cymbelinefire]

Same, I've cried the most I've ever cried in the last 2 years. But it's getting somewhat back to where it was? If that makes sense.

[jemgirl90]

Thanks, I get the sisters names mixed up.

[summerswings]

i just realised that their names are in alphabetical order, R, S, T. So that might be an easy way to remember (as if it matters haha)
I don't enjoy weird naming patterns like that. Surely it's a coincidence.

[handsdowntoo]

I don't remember ever crying in front of my parents about like anything I was going through growing up. So, that probably says that it wasn't a comfortable thing in my family.

[keepitcrispy]

lol no, that's like the central conflict between me and my mom. She was emotionally neglected as a child didn't break the cycle. I was always told to take my tears to my room, that nobody wanted to see that, etc. Not a lot of (or any) hugs or I love yous. Now I'm a 24 year old extrovert who doesn't know how to make friends. lol any other survivors of black parenting?

[winterbam]

My mom was neglected that why, so she tried really hard with me. We had our ups and downs, but we were tight. When my daughter was born she kept that same energy with her. And she always reminded me that we had each other.  My dad on the other hand has always hated that and everytime he saw me he'd tell me us being so close was weird and would try convincing me it wasn't healthy. But as I've gotten older I realized he was jealous, still is jealsous and doesn't know how to express that, so he tries convincing me we're the unhealthy ones.

[brokecouture]

I don’t know your relationship with your dad but don’t be afraid to be the one to start building that bridge if you feel he’s jealous and wants to be close with you. I know it can be hard and painful.

lol here - my mom was never emotionally available. I def remember being a curious and outspoken child, but then as a preteen/teenager, constantly being rebuffed by my mom (the main caregiver), that all changed. I remember trying to talk to my mom about my depression as a teen, but she was not trying to hear it. I became this super anxious teen, now adult, too afraid to share thoughts and feelings with even the closest of friends.

A few years ago, I had a stint in the hospital for mental health issues. After my time there, she has become a bit more aware of how her actions have affected me and contributed negatively to my mental health, but she still doesn't really get it. She tries a bit more now with the hugs and I love yous since I've moved away, but I kinda feel like its too late now. It doesn't make up for the damage that was done growing up, especially since its never been fully acknowledged.
