I do believe in sharing upbringing difficulties with ones partner. But I think it is way too early to share before you two even met! You aren't technically even dating! I think perhaps when she listened about your struggles so early on you came across as a complainer! I am very understanding of people's struggles but if someone whom I have never met started complaining about his parents over the phone, perhaps I would feel awkward. That's too early!

But it appears as she demanded a response, then I would end right there. It is perfectly fine to say that you aren't ready to discuss it

I do agree though it is important people understand and validate each other experiences.

Hang in there. Give it time. See if you connect. Meet. Go out a bit and then share deeper stuff. Build trust first
