alt Hacker NewsI’m just curious about the “wasn’t allowed to have friends or go anywhere” part. Can you elaborate?
Why not? Is this some form/culture of parenting I’m not familiar with?
This idea of not allowing a child to have friends or go anywhere just sounds like actual emotional abuse.

it was. my father assured everybody that he and I were best friends and I didn't need anybody else. I was allowed to go to school, that was it.
