    My parents told us we had an older brother who they shipped off to military camp because he was so badly behaved. We never heard from “Oscar Hermes” again. 💀

      Are you still traumatized? I need to know more about your experience. My parents told me that at night there’s a wolf in town knocking on doors taking misbehaving children. I was scared shitless for a while, I was constantly looking out the window to see if he was walking around down and I was fucking frightened when I heard the door knock or any kind of sound on the stairwell at night, always thinking that he can be here any time to take me.

        Sorry you had that experience! In my case my parents were not very good liars so even though I was probably six I could tell it was made up. No trauma ever 🤷
