A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Know how you feel. I'm almost 40, and even though my dad has been dead for 5 years now, the feeling still won't go away. The PTSD is so bad that loud voices startle me, and I can't use a computer if someone is looking over my shoulder.
My dad taught me how to lie and obsess over privacy so I wouldn't feel his wrath. I should be in therapy.
Nothing teaches you to sneak around better than an angry/violent parent. I learned how to walk around the creaky house at night silently and without a light on. Stay strong fellow lemmy 💪
My dad treated me like a boxing bag for the slightest transgression.
I once squatted for an entire night. Squatted. Because at dusk, I was gaming in the middle of a room with a very creaky floor and then darkness fell. I was expected to be in my own room, and now I was trapped. Had to turn off the console as to not make any noise or quick movement.
Had my parents found out, they'd have flat out killed me, and that's not an exaggeration.
Oh, and apart from the constant physical and mental abuse, I was never allowed to leave the house except for going to school, and couldn't make any phone call exceeding one minute.
I got out of it eventually, but it took a lot of healing. My siblings' lives are still completely ruined, though.
Jesus, that's some monstrous behavior. Glad you got out, I'm hoping your siblings can do the same.
I have done the same thing, freaks some ppl out being 6'1. Your sister was right too, light sleeper fathers = beating being had, which is an odd thing since that act would wake them up way more then a creaky floor. Glad to hear I'm not alone though. It makes me feel better knowing there are other silent walkers out there :) is the anxiety bad some days?
I'm glad you finally got the help you needed. Shame it took longer then it needed to but ya know how doctors are. You gotta be dying or near death before they wanna help out, I want to change my doctor for that exact reason.
Thanks 😊
