I wasn't allowed a door and the landing light had to be on all night so i didn't get darkness either. Also wasn't allowed to close the bathroom door. Or really any door ever.

Oh yeah and my bed time was set at 7pm and when i turned 18 was pushed to 8.30pm with lots of negotiation waow

I was told it was because if the door locked and something happened then I'd die in there or something so it had to stay open.

That has to be some form of manipulation. They said that to make you think it was because they were worried about you, when it was definitely about control.

Control freak parents do often frame their abuse as "worry" in my experience

That stupid reason is why we didn't have locks on the bathroom door, but, I mean, we still had a door.

In my family we weren't allowed to close any door fully for that reason and because the wood would swell
