it's more warped than that. the anti-teen pregnancy parents where themselves kicked out for committing the same teenage pregnancy and it's been happening for 5 generations so far.

its like watching generational trauma on meth since it literally happens every 14 or 15 years and to everybody and the thought process is just a completely circularly reasoned clusterfuck like our elections every time; i will never be able to see how kicking out your daughter is supposed to help when all it does is, effectively, deprive them of things she needs for her and her child's future (their grandchild) like an education for that future; a stable and nurturing home environment; access to medical care; a built in family based support system; etc.

watching my family repeat this surprise-to-kickout-to-squabbling-to-truce cycle every 14 or 15 years informs my opinions of the phrase "history repeats itself" and i wish that the education that would help prevent us from repeating this history wasn't so difficult to realize for everybody.
