And then they wonder why their kids need therapy
And don’t talk to them anymore.
Can confirm, am therapist.
I’m sorry. I’m glad you’re there to help! Too often do kids go without for too long
I love my job, and I love seeing positive changes in my clients. And I can confirm that it’s ~90% dealing with people whose parents sucked. The others usually experienced some kind of adult trauma or just want to explore themselves more.
Everyone’s parents suck, and today’s kids will fuck up their kids also. It’s almost unavoidable as part of the separation process, where kids will try to be as different from their parents as possible.
This causes conflicts and parents reacting in “wrong” ways to their kids being morons. :)
There is such a thing as abuse. Not everyone’s parents suck. Some beat their children, some love them. Sure, everyone hates their parents at some point, and it’s all relative. You’re making it sound like abusive parents don’t exist.
No they don’t, they just want more obediance no matter what and degrade you for having any needs at all.
Hitting a child is not parenting. It’s abuse.
There is nothing a child learns from being hit, only violence. There are ways to show a child that they did wrong, hitting them is not one of them

Dueling Russian roulette.

Specificity would be “im going to whoop each of you in the back of the knees with a looped extension cord until they go purple so that it hurts when you walk but your pants cover them up.”
Then quit taking food in your room then shoving the trash under your bed.
No, and the notes were generally about cleaning up the kitchen/family room and taking the chicken out of the freezer.
I felt that
Exclamation marks and underlining were the emojis of that time.
That’s horrifyingly specific.
