Do you have any memories, as a child, of any incidents when your parent(s) let you down so badly you never forgot it?

When I was 3 or 4 I had this plastic, black purse. It had a white flower that was under clear plastic on the front. I loved that purse.

One day the family was on a road trip. My sisters and I were arguing over my purse. My mom snapped, “Give it to me!”
With a look of sneering triumph at my sisters, I passed it to Mom, believing she was just going to hang on to it and give it to me later.
But then, to my horror, she started rolling the car window down…and she threw the purse out the window. I’ll never forget watching it blow past my passenger window and disappearing down the highway behind the car. I can still feel the horror and betrayal in the pit of my stomach to this day.

I don’t think I ever trusted her fully, ever again.
