I just don& #39;t trust hyper-devoted, my-kids-are-my-everything parents to not treat their kids like a drug

When I did that thread about parental love, romantic love, and arbitrariness some people said & #39;parental love is different because it& #39;s not about your relationship with your kid, it& #39;s about helping your kid& #39; and I really liked that

I will reconsider my insane hatred of everything to do with families if I ever conclude that& #39;s a real thing

I& #39;m tbh pretty sure that only parents who don& #39;t center their emotional lives around kids can truly do that

I just find the fact of life that parents emotionally torture their kids from adolescence on about not loving them back enough super fucked up
