what you said made me shudder... about not talking outside of the house about anything.. even small sh*t, ordinary teenager angst.. can't talk to anyone because someone might think they're bad parents, etc. My family never tried to be "perfect".. but **nothing** was to be said ouside the house about **anything.** It was actually the opposite.. they were convinced we were not as good as other people and so no one should ever know anything. Anything that happened had to be covered up so as not to make things worse.
it's weird.. i wasn't allowed to have friends over.. anyone who came had to stay in the porch.
i bet you know "the look" too right? The one that was as good as a smack in the side of the head... that told you that you had said too much to someone... and about nothing. Imagine if it had been something. Yeah, something. Hmmmm.
