I'm sick of people from my past trying to gaslight me into thinking my childhood was more traumatic than it really was.

>Saw sister on the weekend at parents house
>Younger sibling is a "they/them" lesbian/SJW
>Family is trying to be cool and play along with it even though we think it's cringe
>Were reminiscing about the good old days
>She starts trauma dumping about all the terrible things we used to do to her
>In all fairness, I would admit by today's standards of what is acceptable we where pretty bad to her. We called her names, called her a homo, made fun of her Harry Potter obsession, didn't let her play video games with us
>She starts on this line of questioning that says I was also traumatized by our upbringing even though I don't feel that way
>Push back, say I'm fine
>She keep it up saying that I'm acting like I was in a cult
>I point out she's trying to gaslight my memories
>She gets all pissy, sarcastically says sorry for making me mad (I'm not mad)

Like, we had a very normal childhood. We had two parents who hugged us, we went to church, went to normal school, went to summer camp. This idea that everyone has a secretly repressed childhood upbringing is bullshit and offensive to people who really got abused.
