Somehow I was the most pious & tender-hearted of my siblings & ALSO the one who was punished the most, so go figure. But my siblings infractions were mostly choices they made, not involuntary outburs...

I was such an "angry" child & had these "outbursts", yet I wasn't hitting, slapping, pushing, biting, or otherwise physically assaulting anyone. I was being punished for yelling when I felt someone was trying to be mean to me & for having meltdowns.

In our religion that really was the biggest sin: not silently submitting to everything without question or complaint. So I got to be the "bad" child. Fun!

There was nothing wrong with me. Yes, I was emotionally disregulated. That's what religious abuse did to me. But there was nothing wrong with me. My emotional disregulation was caused by the pressure to suppress my emotions & ignore my needs. There was nothing wrong with me.
