You OK, OP?
Yea I’m fine, just read some bad news articles and stories from various online forums about terrible parents and noticed my parents are awfully similar. 😬
Stay strong
I had a really hard time with my parents, but the book “adult children of emotionally immature parents” really helped me understand that it wasn’t my fault that my parents were pieces of shit.
Abusive parents just mimic the parenting skills of their own parents (minus the things they really disliked).
Once you start realizing this and understanding this, it gets easier to stop hating them back and start feeling sorry for them and seeing them as flawed individuals.
The worst part is that most abusive parents don’t even realize their actions are abusive. Hang in there kiddo we’ll make it through.
Eh, I have a brother who’s an abusive piece of shit, and he definitely didn’t get it from our parents
Ya it’s not a hard fact what I said, just a general rule. There will always be people who naturally are terrible people without any help from their parents.
