I had a pretty normal childhood from ages 0-6 apart from my parents divorce, but after that my mom had started having children with my step-dad and from that point on she more or less ignored me in favor of them. By the time high school was halfway over I was so desperate for affection that I started actively taking initiative and point blank asking her to spend time with me. She would just get enraged and accuse me of feeling entitled to favoritism then go back to ignoring me in favor of my siblings.
After high school I moved in with my dad. He tricked me into signing over my life savings under the guise of "teaching me the financial skills my mother never did" then became emotionally abusive. He more or less forbade me from having friends or dating and forced me to live by the moral standards of the ultra-fundamentalist church he grew up in.
Some years later he got a job as a security guard at a movie theater. A lot of his coworkers were college students (all normie) and naturally they did all of that stuff except living up to ultra fundamentalist morals but Dad goes out of his way to be a surrogate father to them anyway. He volunteered to teach one of them how to drive and this coworker boasted to me about what a kind, patient teacher my dad was. When I needed to learn how to drive, though, Dad was angry and resentful about the bother and would scream at me until I was a sobbing mess over the smallest mistakes. Another coworker makes horrendously terrible indie films and my dad donates money, props, and even plays bit roles for him. But after I worked for five years on an indie computer game dad would refuse to even let me show it to him and he ended up being the reason I lost all of my work on it and had to cancel the project.
Has anyone else been replaced by their parents? I'm curious how common this phenomenon is among incels.
