    why? we get along, we love each other

    Again (not sure why this is hard) I UNDERSTAND what the post was going for, I am just complaining it is very poorly written.

    If instead of starting with the vague “someone’s mood shifts the atmosphere” (which is complete bullshit and can indeed be a completely benign thing) it had started with “an emotionally abusive household” I think the message would have come across a lot more clear. The way it’s currently written would certainly cast loving parents in a healthy home as abusive

      The post is wirrten by someone who has experienced this and is understood by those who do. For anyone who has grown up in this sort of abusive situation will immediately recognize what it’s saying.

      Are you aware of what walking on eggshells actually means? I realize it’s been watered down much like the term gaslighting and calling people narcissists but to those whoever have experienced the trauma can feel those words.

        And this is why I care… not everyone is super stable/smart/objective/capable of self reflection… this is the irresponsible shit going online that pushes those people the wrong way

        This is not an “abusive household” community, the context is not implied

        Are you aware of what walking on eggshells actually means?

        Yes, and for the umpteenth time, I understood the post. I am just complaining about how poorly written it is… which in my opinion, could be dangerous for some people
