To think this was an overreaction

[savethestars]

To scream NO NO NO OH PLEASE GOD NO top volume because a 13 year old got a detention for a very minor reason?

OP I think the fiat comments were more harsh because that's a really off thing to do and people don't know who you are in this. Your mum overreacted massively. If this is part of unpredictable or unkind things as a child I can understand why a small incident can feel like a big deal. 13 year olds forget stuff all of the time so it's not like you willfully were bad and got detention.

take care and listen to the kindness of the MN wise people. I hope you find peace, I totally understand that feeling, the random memories that you wonder whether they are actually real.

This was hard work to read and huge drip feed

OP I'm sorry to hear about your DM and how you feel now.

Your thread will get less negative comments of you give a bit of context next time, that you were the child it was years ago, what you'd done and your DM shouted that whilst your dad was chill.

Really though imo it's an irrelevant thing to recall; from back then, detention was a bigger deal & people were far more concerned about reputation years ago than in this sm age.

It's strange that a memory of such a small thing is affecting you now. Was there a pattern of overly dramatic from your DM?

How are you today @savethestars?

Do you have your own dc op? After i left home i put my childhood behind me but i found when i had my own dc i relived stuff from when i was their age. My mum had a lot of mental health problems and used me as an emotional crutch as well as scapegoating me and being physically and verbally aggressive. She caused a huge drama over everything and it was very stressful. I married and made my own non drama llama family,.but they still try and drag me in to their dramas and my stress levels rise hugely.
