Deep dives
Growing up in a chaotic and emotionally repressive household
The speaker describes growing up in a household where emotions were suppressed and not allowed to be expressed. Her parents had a Catholic upbringing, and her father's grief over the death of her older brother was not processed or addressed. Emotions were considered shameful, and any expression other than agreement was met with punishment. The speaker internalized this repression and learned to shut down her own emotions. She also witnessed her father's abusive behavior towards her brother, further contributing to the chaotic environment.
