Olivia plath She has a message for trolleys that criticize her decision to speak out for her childhood.
“It’s so interesting to me, every time I talk about my childhood in public and it’s not overwhelming and positive, here are the comments I get,” said Plath in Saturday, April 5, Instagram Video.
The Welcome to Plathville Star shared a picture of comments that read, “Get over your childhood stop crying over it,” and, “got (sic) for yourself, you had a roof above your head and your food. You behave like you were abusive because you couldn’t listen to a certain type of music. Always the victim.” A third user added, “I mean, seriously do you think at some point that you need to move on alone?!”
Plath wrote, “These comments come from my stories yesterday talking about not discovering ‘secular’ music until I was an adult because of control.”
“The ironic thing is that these people probably started to follow me because they have seen me on a TV show that highlighted a religious family that controls high in that environment and what happens to the children when they grow up? Do they stay? Do they leave? Plath says in the video.
He continued, “And if you even watched a pyt from the show, you would see that I was one of those kids who (he) didn’t work for me. I wanted to march to the beat of my own drum. I wanted to be my own person. I didn’t want to comply and become a clone in this family or religious environment that manages greatly.”
Plath noted that her childhood “directly informed” her adult life now.
“It steers what I know and what I don’t know. What I’m experiencing, what I didn’t experience. What I re -teach. Things I follow in my life now, things I don’t follow,” he said. “My childhood directs it all directly because of what it was.
He continued, “Secondly, you want to tell me that there is no direct correlation with high control religious environments and mistrust? I don’t know what to tell you because there is abuse at home in which I grew up. I know that’s so much shock but those things go hand in hand. It’s hard to find one without the other.”
Plath added that she was “sure” her trolleys “talking about their childhood” and claimed that the “only reason” that they do not want to discuss her own experience is because he “challenges a narrative they have.”
“Children are not property to be molded into what you want them to be. They are born their own person and they can become their own person,” he said. “And as a parent, it’s your job to guide them and get them there. Not just putting a roof above them, it’s not just feeding food.
Plath noted the more push back she receives in terms of her talking about her experience, the more she feels she has to talk about.
“It highlights the difference of knowledge. It honestly highlights ignorance that many people have been around growing up in a cult. And I guess I need to share a lot more stories to help bridge that gap,” he said. “For a bummer.”
