My mother had some serious anger issues. In place of hugs and quality time together she would show love by buying me all kinds of wonderful toys, especiallly dolls and stuffed animals which I came to love as I would her. Every child needs something to love back, if not their parent. Then she would get angry at me and overreact as a result of her own life choices and she would throw things, breaking them on our walls and putting rips in them with her shoes.
Now as a result I am debilitatingly materialistic. I cannot stand to see anything destroyed or damaged, even thrown away. I can't get over it. New things make me happy and seeing my things get systematically destroyed by my roommates makes me cry.
Please, I beg everyone who reads this, do not ever disregard a child's impressionable mind!
As you can see, I know the problem, and the cause of the problem, but now for many years I have been living without a solution. It affects my life so much, I will do anything to get over it
