Although in the beginning they didn't have that name. Every aspect of my life was controlled until the day I turned 18. It was 1978 and I got out just in the nick of time. I had managed to get out of 2 arranged marriages and finish HS without giving birth. The trade off was everyone decided I was a lesbian and my parents were trying to have me committed.
Every. Single. Day. I still deal with BS in my head that doesn't belong there.
