Did your narcs make you watch traumatic movies?

I’m just thinking about all the violent movies my older brother made me watch growing up, insisting on raising me “not to be like those stupid girls.”

I was 8 when he made me watch “Full Metal Jacket.” It absolutely gave me nightmares, and I cried about it. My brother (7 years older) just made fun of me for being “a child,” (lol, I was) and also told me I was too old to be playing with dolls when I was 7.

Sometimes, I lament how much of my childhood I lost out on being I was forced to grow up by people with the emotional maturity of a door knob.
