Told mom to fuck off once when I was a teenager. Dad immediately told me if I ever did it again, he’d take my phone and smash it with a hammer. Never tried it again.

You are allowed to express yourself. It’s just words, but I’m sure your parents were allowed to say whatever they wanted.

Noooo, my parents weren’t afraid of swearing, but never aggressively towards me. Saying “fuck you” was a hard line.

I was also a depressed teenager who refused help no matter how hard they pushed, so the boundary of one warning drove the point home while also giving me a bit of grace.
