How much of my personal experience should I tell the world?
#10
RE: How much of my personal experience should I tell the world?
What you want to tell anyone else is your choice, just be sure what you reveal doesn't come back to bite you in the ass. I can understand @no one point of view, but based on my personal experiences, being a open book is a really really bad idea.

That aside, I don't see any reason to hold on to your grudge against your parents in this scenario, yes they didn't burden you with their brand of bs on top of your school mandated bs, when their brand of bs might have been slightly better than that other one, but bs is still bs! I can understand your expectations of them understanding their own child, but it's not always that simple, parents are humans too and often won't know things about you unless you open up to them. If all parents could really understand the suffering of their child without being told, so many children around the world wouldn't be getting abused right now. Religious brainwashing is akin to child abuse in a sense, but it is especially harder for parents to understand when they themselves have been religiously indoctrinated.
