Her mum and dad would constantly berate her for being "untidy". Her small bedroom was a mess, they'd insist. I never understood why they constantly bore down on her because her room really wasn't that messy. She didn't have enough things to be messy. This was throughout her childhood.
Well one day we were in our early/mid teens. her dad flew into a rage and threw a pair of hair straighteners at her because her room was messy.
I understood then it was never about the mess. It was about dysregulated adults who couldn't process their emotions so felt the need to take it out on their kid.
They ruined her life.
