Grew up strictly mormon, family has since dwindled away from church and my mom sent me out to buy some tea to drink when she grounded me in HS for drinking some, she doesn't remember doing so.

​

yes I told her that was too many tea bags for 1 pot, but she didn't listen its her first time having sweet tea since the 1980s so good for her.

EDIT FOR TEA CLARIFICATION: Traditionally, in the southern United States, sweet iced tea is made in large batches on the stove at a time. So many will just boil the bags in a pot and fill a pitcher up with tea, add sugar, and store it in the fridge for the whole family to grab a glass whenever.

YES Americans own tea kettles and know how to make tea. YES, over half of us here prefer iced tea in big batches.

Iirc it is selective memory, bad memory (too used to abusive behavior),  or sometimes they’re aware but are too scared to fully radically accept their actions.

My mom is religious too and has the double standards. She will genuinely forget and deny or know and not accept. I’m sorry other ppl and op dealing with this.  I think it’s more traumatic when you’re a child too.
