you’re TOXIC if u raise ur kids to fear u, feel guilty abt raisin u, always be compared 2, expected unreasonable goals, & show favoritism. our parents was our 1st role models, 1st ppl we look up 2 n strive 2 be. shit hurts diff when we not enough n get compared to sum1 “better”.
I always feared bein a disappointment 2 my parents cause they heavily relied on me & i blamed myself when i couldn’t handle n it negatively affected my self image but i learned killin myself to being sum1 “better” was makin me worst. valuing n prioritizing me all 2020 n beyonddd
heavy on my mind but pls be kind to ur kids n protect their energy. find ways 2 uplift n encourage. value communication n trust OVER the fear of anything. keep an open line of communication & listen 2 understand n help. showing the importance of their validity speaks volumes!
pls be aware words cut deep for kids n they soak up any energy given, whether positive or negative, especially from a parent. encourage them 2 speak up n feel heard n help parents to listen 2 understand. let’s normalize safe space communication between parents & kids w/o the fear
