What? it is 1000% not about me.
For the last time (I have written this about 9 times by now) I did understand the post, I know exactly what they meant because, as other have pointed out, when you have lived it you recognize it.
My problem is that is so poorly written, I think vulnerable people may misconstrue it and wind up painting their parents as abusive when they are not... or, perhaps worse, paint empathy as a bad thing (which is a fashionable thing to do from all the toxic alpha male influencers nowadays)
