    Humans are messed up in general so it’s probably common enough tbh. My childhood was a bit different though. The arguing was never mutual. It was always my dad screaming at my mom while she sits there and takes it. I remember realizing that was abnormal by watching media growing up… realizing that couples are supposed to love each other and that fights are generally a mutual experience, not just one person belittling the other.

    Anyway sorry that was oversharing lol

      So relatable. Aight lemme overshare a little too (TW: sadness).

      My oldest memory is my dad yelling at my mom while 3yo me runs to my room crying, and looking for my teddy bear so I can get a little comfort. Fuck I’m crying again.

      Hey same childhood! My dad would yell at the top of his lungs at my mom and call her a stupid bitch and she would sit there and take it and then silently cry in the kitchen and then ground me when I tried to hug her 🙂

      Learned the shit out of computers. They’re the only things in my life that don’t yell at me (if we ignore error messages).
