I don't feel comfortable doing things around people
Your Question
Is it normal to not want to do anything in front of your parent when they’re mad? My dad was complaining about how many dishes needed to be washed and I was hungry so I decided I’d cook a hotdog (Im 10-13 and I’m an awesome chef) but I decided to wait until my dad went to his room because he was mad. I felt guilty even though it wasn’t my fault. Even though all he was doing was complaining. I guess whenever someone says anything in a harsh voice I get a little nervous or sensitive because my mom was abusive (when I lives with her my dad and I ran away from her when I was 8. Dont worry, he has full custody of me so we’re fine legally.) And she’d call me names, threaten to send me to a mental hospital, and she’d pour hot sauce (and sometimes soap) in my mouth if I even disagreed with her. But yeah is it normal to not want to do anything in front of my dad when he’s upset? (Or anyone for that matter. I won’t clean if someone’s watching me.) So yeah. Thanks for listening
