A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

My DNA donors like to insist that they did "so many nice things" for me as a kid... Funny thing though, i only seem to remember the "Dad's in a bad mood" beatings, the "you don't need glasses, you're just being dramatic" gaslighting to keep me blind for my first 17 years.
There's more, but enough trauma dumping for today
Sounds like a classic case of raised by narcissists (etc)? They tend to only remember the good, while you only remember the bad.
Annoying how that works out. And when I say annoying, I mean infuriating.
The only thing i truly miss about Reddit was Doom scrolling the raised by narcissists sub
Edit: I just remembered a quote that your reply reminded me of; The axe doesn't remember every swing, but the tree remembers every cut.
