What? it is 1000% not about me. The examples I gave from my life were an attempt to show how this post would fit even in a benign, emotionally healthy household… and therefore possibly paint it as abusive
For the last time (I have written this about 9 times by now) I did understand the post, I know exactly what they meant because, as other have pointed out, when you have lived it you recognize it.
My problem is that is so poorly written, I think vulnerable people may misconstrue it and wind up painting their parents as abusive when they are not… or, perhaps worse, paint empathy as a bad thing (which is a fashionable thing to do from all the toxic alpha male influencers nowadays)
Not everything has to be about you. See all the other posts on this thread and accept it resonates with their experiences.
