@esther@strangeobject.space I got that shit too. Got parentified from early age, trying to do a balancing act of looking after my younger siblings and trying not to land in hot water with my parents when I couldn't contain what had happened.
and all the older ladies just circle-jerked about how 'mature you are for your age'. Well the fuck you expected, when a 10 year old is literally on hook for younger siblings' food, clothing and education, plus keeping them out of parents' way.
that did a number to my personality, some call me childish these days but it was like the world had been lifted off my shoulders when I got out of that. it took a long time for me to experience video games and basically a lot of other 'kid stuff'.
