My parents were so kind that it was hard for me to understand why people were being so mean to each other, much less things like racism, homophobia, sex shaming, etc.
In spite of that, my siblings and I still managed to fuck things up with things like addiction in my case and the case of my youngest brother, and being a raging abusive asshole in the case of my middle brother. It’s helped me a lot though, having the example of my parents to fall back on, though I still have some shortcomings.
Can hardly wait until those attitudes are part of the past.
“Kids get bullied for this, so let’s not address the bullying, but rather force the victim to change instead.”
So fucked up on so many levels. I’m old, and I saw that shit all the time growing up. I’m so thankful my parents weren’t that fucked in the head.
I’m one of those unlucky ones with whack-a-doodle parents :')
It’s a miracle I woke up from underneath 'em and I wish I knew how to reciprocate it. I feel like I’ll figure it out soon though… I hope, lol.
