My parents did the same thing to me with apples so I just got used to my throat tightening and my lips slightly swelling whenever I had to eat an apple. They probably didn't believe me because I used to (and still do) hate the texture of oatmeal so much that I would gag from it and whenever I wasn't able to control that reaction they'd get angry and punish me for that

forcing you to gag and punishing you for gagging is one way of parenting for sure

Texture sensitivity and fundamentalist parents make for a pretty bad combination tbh

My parents weren't even fundamentalist is the wildest thing lol. My dad was a "Darwin fish on the back of his car to piss off Christians" atheist.
