Maaaan I wish I had an environment like this at home when I was a kid… I always like to imagine how nice the feeling of safety must be for kids with a nice family. Well… For ppl like myself, let’s hope that we can be the family we wish we had…
On that note, both my parents were physically abused as kids, but never laid a hand on me or my siblings. Like most parents, they weren’t great at parenting, but I am thankful I never had to be really afraid of my parents.
Man, growing up I rarely had hobbies. Just study or nothing. Even then, I remember being scared of my mom if I slipped even just a little. That translated to the fact that now, if I get rejected from a job, I feel like worthless garbage. I am unemployed for last 10 months or so and the toll is high.
I really wish my mom was supportive of me, but well that’s the past, I guess.

A thousand times this! My family sucked at being supportive. But if anything, they taught me what not to do as a parent.
Hehe yeah, that’s the unfortunate silver lining…

Break the cycle by not having children. Otherwise, adopt.
Or have a child and love the crap out of them like they deserve.
yeah but the cycle of abuse and suffering will still wrap back around.
Maybe, maybe not
You must be fun at parties
How does having kids = being a bad parent?
No, break the cycle by having kids and raising them properly. Cut your antinatalist BS.
that’s not breaking the cycle. that’s continuing the cycle. it’s a cycle.
The cycle which keeps our species alive
