There are so many parents that Trawmtyze their kids
And its insane that like even after all these years
They think they raised us to be good when in actuality
The way they "disciplined" us is no excusable to flippin cause so much chaos towards us as kids back in the day
And I know that there are several kids either too this day is having this problem
And that I wish we can hold these parents accountable for what they done to us in the past
And I also hope that Millennials/Gen Z's are treating their kids way better than Baby Boomers/Gen X
That's not how you spell traumatize
ik i would prolly get timed out if i say it
Yh I do agree partly but it's not like they would be held accountable, in theory that'd be great but usually it doesn't happen and still won't
It happens trust, its just wont be seen in online as frequent but its been popping off tho and kids are starting to be aware of how their parents are reacting horribly to them which is good bc parents needs that accountability like bad bad
Kids do usually become aware, but from all the cases I've heard the parents never get held accountable
Its either because the kids cant seem to talk it out or understand what the pain or situation has been through (aka scared ofc) or sometimes they just accept the fact that they just have horrible crappy parents and theyve always had a crappy backstory back in the day and realize is this what this was all about ya know
Parents that Traumatize their own Kids should be held Accountable
If they grow up to let's say around young teens then usually they do understand what's going on, but often they literally can't do anything abt it so in the end the parents get away with what they've done and said to their child
Maybe they are wants to be "Disciplined", but the child left mentally unstable
Well i agree
ik u do ik ik
During early childhood is prolly like the worse among all kids
👁️👄👁️
Maybe they can but that doesnt excuse their behavior whatsoever
Not always and not all kids, sometimes tho it could just carry on for yrs like even as they grow into teenage yrs
I can only speak from my experience, but they grew up not having their physical basic needs fulfilled. So they can't really understand the mental problems we have. Prolly bc they also still have unsolved trauma feom their childhood. It isn't great what they're doing, yes. But they grew up this way and didn't know it differently. They thought it was right. I'm not saying that it is right what they did, but nobody taught them? Everyone in their environment did it, so they really just thought that it is alr or it should be done that way
After all it is a generation problem in the past i still blame them regardless
pain and suffering shouldnt be tolerated whatsoever
Pain and suffering should never be tolerated, but I think we should still understand why they're the way they are
I think nobody that blames them would've acted differently in their cases
If they're adults then it's much more harder to forgive, since these ppl r supposed the 'wiser' ones
And yh for parents, it's harder to since they should understand what they do (especially if they choose to become parents by their own free will)
I didn't understand, are the adults the parents or the kids that grew up😭😭
I just meant adults as in anyone generally lol
Could be parents, could be other adults who r around kids and might take care of them in some way
Could be teachers who r supposed to educate kids even
Ahh tyy
If only they can "Apologize" for their actions but most likely we wouldnt accept none of em
They won't bc they don't see the weong in their actions which I kinda understand
Idk bro like their actions is no excuse at all man
just bc their also had trauma in the past from their own past generation parents doesnt mean they should also put it on us for no reason
the type of discliplinary they put on us is still lots of pain and suffer
its not for no reason they are basically a reflection of their parents
so like an emotional abusive father, maybe his father was 10 times worse to him
it's kind of like wired in the brain, it's not something they are actively doing on purpose in the moment
Similar to how addictions run in families
I get it, really! It is A LOT A LOT of pain. But in my opinion they don't have THE CHOICE. You might say, they have, but they didn't if you're really being for real. I'm not trying to say that it isn't a lot of pain or talk down the trauma that the kids experience. The kids' life are a lot harder bc of their parents and need to put in a lot of work to get better. I'm just trying to say that we should also see the pain that the parents are going through. Trying their best, even if it's the worst way to raise a child. Not knowing what they did wrong and then losing their child when they become adults. But it is ofc hard trying to understand their abuser.
Exactly
Idk man im just not convinced regarding of their past behavior they should know better by now
I dont defend their actions whatsoever
I live in the past for so long its like I cant never ever let go of it because its just there forever
Give yourself your time, it's okay to so so, everything will be alright
Idk man I've been through counseling and therapy awhile back they didnt help for shit
so its like im just an empty person atp
forever will be
had dreams and ambitions at one point but its like idk bro i dont wanna get into details rn
It feels like it will be forever, but after a while you will look back and see how far you've come
i have not accomplish anything for 27 years in this world man
It's okay, you will find your dreams/ambitions back or get new ones
You have, but it became so normal that u don't see it anymore
You still have 70 years ahead of you, don't rush it
Take your time
i wish i can be convinced like i mentioned before but idk man
im just forever empty
Actually he has about 49 years
We don't get to live to 100 it's like 76 on avg
But he lives a long life
Ever temporary thing feels like forever if you're in the moment, it will really get better
And it is okay to not trust me, bc time will prove me right
How you know? 
Bc I know bro
Do u have evidence that he doesn't?🤨
Well I have statistical evidence that shows he most likely won't
But we don't live in India, so we will live a longer life
I been to my family's graves and most didn't live past 70 so I'm cooked
As well
😭😭 the average life expectancy for my country is 83,3 sooo yeah
