People can have trauma from their parents, but still reconcile and have a good relationship later on. It is unfortunate when people assume everyone wants to get away from their parents. I would like independence, but rent prices. My parents lived alongside their parents for a long time, and I have a far better relationship with them than they did.

I am always grateful for my parents and never take for granted how lucky I am. I had serious psychological debuffs at spawn and quite frankly wouldn't be here if my parents didn't care about their children above all else. Everyone deserves the love and assistance I got at a minimum. I don't know how anyone thinks a world of such unequal opportunities could ever have a fair playing field.

If you did a good job raising your kids, they'll be grateful. If they're ungrateful, you must have fucked it up.

I don't see any need to pressure people to like their parents. A lot of people who aren't as lucky as you feel like society is demanding they love people who never made them feel loved. If they had parents who deserved to be loved, they wouldn't need to be told to.

True. I appreciate my parents because I was lucky enough to have parents worthy of love. They don't expect me to pay anything back. All the payback they want is for me to live my best life ❤
