Comment on Discussion Thread 🍰 Friday 13 June 2025

I’m tempted to start another account just so I can upvote this a second time.

I had to read the comment a few times before I could understand it, because a father hearing his daughter screaming in the night and not running in straight away to find out what is wrong and providing comfort just didn’t make sense to me. Actually berating her for it is just appalling behaviour.

@LowExperience2368@aussie.zone the only question to ask here is WTF is wrong with your father, you have absolutely no reason to feel guilty.

This has happened about five times before, so they know not to run in and help me

  Yeah, what you do in your sleep isn’t really your fault. Don’t let this on weigh too heavily on you. Like consider therapy, or meditation or sleep health stuff because screaming from sleep is an issue that your responsible for but not at fault for, if that makes sense.

    Thanks :)
    
    I’ll do a meditation tonight and see how that goes. Will also check in with the GP when I go in next because I do wake up with a blocked nose quite often (probably from stomach sleeping, but could be something else).

  Yo, wtf, you literally had no control over it! Sure it is frustrating for them - I get irrationally triggered by the sounds of snoring - but it is peak asshole behaviour to then make you feel guilty about it. It’s not even like there are known interventions (like with snoring). They should instead be concerned for you and supporting you to get to the root of it (which benefits you AND them). Please don’t feel guilty about this!!!

  I don’t think you should feel guilty about it at all.
  
  It’s something you can’t help and you’re never awake to it and your family already knows about it.

  Lol you didn’t do it on purpose, that’s the point. If you stayed up until 3am and screamed then I could see how you’d be to blame. But you were asleep, friend, you can’t control what happens when you’re asleep.
  
  You don’t need to do anything or apologise, I get ya dad is mad but like, you don’t need to berated for this, and you don’t need to shoulder the blame!
