what a fucking day *me at 8:15 AM*
Step 1: Traumatize people to the point that they use drugs to cope.
Step 2: Use their drug use as evidence that they're moral failures and deserve the trauma.
A child: developes a mental illness, struggles with school, tries to seek help
Parents: How can you do this to me? You know how this makes me feel? Stop being so dramatic! Other kids have it way worse! How can you embarrass me like that??!!
A child, now adult: Still mentally ill, but has now learned to never open up
Parents: Hey sweetie 🥺 if there's anything going on 🥺🥺 you can open up to us!!! We're FaMiLy 🥺🥺💕💕💕
can not be any truer.
abused kids culture is being startled by basic human decency
broo wakeupp it’s 2022 inna week
Quick reminder for the boomers out there, if you thought your parents were mostly wrong or disagreed with them, or resented them, but didn't say it to their faces... That's not respect. That's fear. Respecting someone means you genuinely think highly of them, not that you pretend you do just to stay on their good side. Kids today who speak out against their parents either on social media or to their faces are just being more genuine than you were, the levels of respect are the same
someone reposted this to facebook and this is so gross. this is how thousands of people are treating their /toddlers/?? in the most important developmental stage of their lives? all you’re doing is teaching them that they’re a burden for needing help and attention when thats something you sign up to give as a parent.
calling kids gracious because they forgive your shitty behaviour over and over again isn’t healthy parenting ma'am. how about you join a parenting club or go to a therapist and not use your kid as your teacher and how about you fix your behaviour before having kids instead of making your kids fix it for you. these kids are learning to put up with abusive behaviours simply because the abuser is someone they love. this is sick.
it’s decided. i am getting at least 2 cats once i am on my own
Abused kid culture is fantasizing about having an argument with your parents that you actually win, where you don’t get gaslit and viciously insulted in response.
Fuck anyone who says I have to forgive everyone, “for my sake.” I worked hard for this anger. I worked hard to love myself enough to hate them.
Shit, yeah, this is a thing that is hard to articulate. Some people don’t feel healed by forgiving the people who hurt them, because that’s what they kept doing over and over and it only led to getting more hurt. Sometimes you feel healed when you’re finally brave enough to say “This person was horrible to me, and I did not deserve that treatment, and I don’t have to be okay with it.”
Dear parents who wonder why their kids never talk to them…
Think about what you were saying when they used to talk to you. Think about your choice of words and tone. Think about why they tried to come to you and why they don’t anymore. When you shut them out, belittle them, and blame them for all of their problems, you will lose them. And that will be permanent.
my mom told me i can’t get angry at her for abusing me instead i can do the same to my daughter to let my anger out. she literally said this. these were her exact words. i am just so fucking done with this fucked up family.
anyone else feel like they missed about 85% of 2021
I remember a boat and that’s about it.
The boat was this year??
THERE WAS A BOAT???
what boat
“They’re only human” is such a weak defense for abusers. If you see someone neglecting, bullying, attacking and torturing a child and you go “sure, that’s normal human behaviour”, maybe your definition of human is fucked up.
who up?? Kill me
