My mom said that I deserve to be in prison with rapists when I was only 15

r/

So yeah…..I (23 male) was a teenager going through puberty and all, and masturbation is something I definitely struggled to quit doing for a long time. However I was raised in a very strict fundamentalist Christian household so if I was caught even looking at a girl my mom would beat the living shit out of me.

There was this one morning where my mom had gotten angry with me, and I don’t even remember what she was angry about. I was around 14 or 15 at this time, and my mom would very often threaten to call the cops and have me put in jail for masturbating, and I remember her saying that I deserve to be in jail with rapists and perverts.

My whole life has been dealing with shit like this from people.

    These people are abusive freaks who have no concept of human development. Teenagers undergoing a huge hormone surge are going to masturbate. It’s not some affront to God. If there is a God, they designed us this was for a reason.

    There are several groups here on Reddit to help people that have left their church, help others get out, and to deal with the trauma. I’m quite certain you’ll find a few people who dealt with similar situations. You might find it useful.

    The fact that she’s going out of her way to think about or catch her son masturbating is fuckin gross and wild. Seek therapy and other people to surround you aka new friends and a chosen family. This is beyond fucked up and you need to unlearn everything she taught you. Best of luck, kid.
