Why am I the way that I am?
Parental Influence
Abuse
Examples: Getting yelled at over small things, objects being thrown, verbal abuse, witnessing abuse, etc.
Poor
At a young age I realized that we were poor. We lived off MRE's at the base, lived in a broken down trailer, and learned how to live off of what little we had between the seven of us.
Neglect
Eating alone or whatever we could find was often. Parents would arrive home late, Mom would sleep at her job and work constantly to keep family afloat while Dad was truck-driving for months to keep us fed. Our relationship at the time was difficult, seeing them or having time with them was considered a special treat, especially if they were genuinely present in the moment.
Too many kids
Often reminded that we were mistakes, this negatively impacted my lifestyle in ways that could have been prevented.
Example: Taking up less "space" (not eating enough, not speaking up when I needed something, feeling like I deserved what happened to me)
Military Lifestyle
Example: Feeling the need to live up to being a sergeant's daughter. (Lots of pressure)
Trailer Park
I was constantly in fear and walking on eggshells, not only because of _, but because the house itself was horrendous.
Spiders and drunk people everywhere, it's in this era that my fear of drunk people started.
Spiders crawling all over corners, bathrooms, and sometimes personal space.
Moving Constantly
Because we moved so much, my view of relationships was damaged. People became temporary to me and I became detached from my peers.
Not enough space
Being one of the oldest
Having a lot of expectations not only from school but from parents and siblings, I felt the need to take care of my siblings and "step in" in a "parental" role due to my parents working more or being emotionally absent.
I was told that I'd be paid less attention to when my older siblings moved in with us, and that I needed to be okay with being second because parents needed to help them more. (I accepted that, but kept it as a lifestyle)
I felt the need to be the parent even as a child, this harmed my relationship with not only myself but my Mom. Due to circumstances though, it was a desperate move to give my siblings the childhood they needed even if that meant sacrificing my own. She felt as if I didn't trust her enough (after trailer park era) to be the parent but I've been conditioned to believe that if I'm not the parent nobody else would be.
Guilt for not protecting siblings enough
Having to protect my siblings or try and lessen the punishments given, often straining my relationship with my parents in effort to help them.
