The romanticization of mental health problems and toxic relationships in books is questionable, but so are perfect "rainbow and unicorn" relationships that set our expectations too high. Simple love can't 'fix' the problem, it can help, but it's not a cure for everything...

She was taught how to heat food in the microwave, but due to her laziness and impatience, she always ate the cold food straight from the fridge.

When her parents returned from work, their daughter would already be deep asleep.

He was a good man who loved his family. There were times when he would get drunk. Her mother always told her to treasure herself, never let anybody hurt her, which would make her look at her mother doubtfully.

The little girl didn't understand why her mother loved her father despite him hurting her mother all the time. Her mother put the blame on the alcohol and Bing Shi was always an observant girl.

░~ Alcohol is bad. Drunk people will hurt you.░

Her mother was a mature woman; who knew a lot about life. Her mother wanted to protect Bing Shi and didn't want her to fall in love fast, so occasionally, before she left for work, she would tell her daughter a few encouraging sentences, "You have to love yourself first. Always treasure yourself, don't let yourself get hurt."

Bing Shi listened well.

Then, her brother was born. Her parents had enough money to rent a nanny for both kids. Yet, Bing Shi couldn't get used to it — she wanted to play alone. Her parents could only approve of their daughter. Such a good girl, trying to save their money, they thought. They never noticed that something was wrong until it was too late.

Her parents sent her brother to the nanny's house until he reached the age when he could use the toilet alone. Bing Shi was spared of the things, called diapers. Her parents were still inexperienced and thought that her behavior was normal. She made them feel proud for beinghat set our expehat set our expectations too high.

When it was his mealtime, Bing Shi would always shout at him, "Why are you not eating!? You have to eat! You will be hungry!"

The more she shouted, the more he cried. Her brother was used to his nanny feeding him; he didn't know how to eat by himself. Bing Shi had to teach her brother how to use a spoon; she never fed her brother. She didn't know parents were supposed to feed their child. (Her parents fed her, but it was a long time ago, she didn't remember it.)

After two years, her parents got her a second brother. Having more money now, they sent both of her brothers to the nanny. Bing Shi could finally be free at her home. She got her first PC and a mobile phone when she was ten.

Let's skip her father, who treated her mother with less and less respect. Her mother told her he wasn't like this before.

░~ Men will get worse after a while.░

When Bing Shi got home from school, she helped her parents in their shop for a while. After that, she had to take care of her brothers, who didn't need a nanny anymore, according to her parents. They thought every child was like their daughter.

Having enough, Bing Shi learned how to trick them. Starting small, she would take a photo of a messy living room room and showed them the picture.

"You see how messy the room is? Can you turn it clean again? I'll take a before and after picture. Later, I'll show it to our parents and tell them how you could clean the house, all by yourself! They would be so proud to have such good boys as their sons!" She encouraged them with a wide smile.

Her brothers agreed happily. The before and after result of their hard work gave them a sense of achievement. Not often was it for their sister to praise them.

Her parents didn't let Bing Shi cook, afraid that she would burn herself. One of the better decisions her parents made. It would be bad if hat set our expectationshat set our expectations too high.

From that day onwards, Bing Shi, from her observation, didn't shout at people and didn't beat them, as it seemed like to make everything worse. It was like she put every person into the role of a kid, starting to treat every person like that. Smiling, laughing, praising, and teaching things she knew.

She wasn't acting at all. It became a part of her personality, which was engraved inside her mind due to her experiences in her childhood. And it worked perfectly for her.

She enjoyed playing games, the only place she could have real fun and feel safe at the same time. Nobody could hurt her. She started to socialize and made a bunch of friends. She felt really happy and wanted to spend most of her time here. Listening to her desires, to play more games, she studied less. But her grades were still the same. How? Because she was smart? No, because she was cheating. And she got caught. Her parents got a call from her teacher.

When Bing Shi came back home, her parents were waiting for her in the living room.

░~ Violence hurts, avoid it.░

"This is how we taught you?! To be a cheater?! This family doesn't need a cheater! We would rather have a daughter with bad grades than a cheater!" He continued with his beating. Until when? Until he had enough and furiously broke the broom by himself with his hands over his knees and threw the broken broom at the trembling girl.

The hatred was gone; Bing Shi went numb. She lifted her head, and with her lifeless eyes, she looked at her mother for the last time, looking for hope.

░Hey, why are you looking at me with that gaze?░

Her parents made the same mistake as Bing Shi when she pushed her brother away. Just, her parent's way was much more brutal and severe. A small example of how one wrong move could change a whole person's life.

░~ You have to learn from other people's mistakes, so you don't make mistakes yourself.░

Her grades went up, but her parents ended up crying, always looking at her with eyes full of regret. They became rich and finally had time to be parents. She was thirteen by then.

░What's wrong with you? Aren't my grades higher? I help you with your work and make you happy with my laughter... Why are you crying at me again?░

One time they lost their cool. "Bing Shi, you don't have to get good grades anymore; just return back!" They cried and tried to hug her.

She took a few steps back, trying to run away from their hug. "Sorry, I don't like to touch and hug," said Bing Shi, not hidding the revulsion in her expression.hat set our expectations too high.
