I think I've finally realized the truth
>You don't have to be harsh to encourage discipline
>Your parents were hard on you because they didn't know another way.
I think I've finally realized the truth
>My parents weren't actually right all these years
>They just did whatever they thought was right, with little to no backing or reasoning, same as their parents did to/for them
>The morals and lessons I've learned from them are basically just regurgitated shit from their parents, lightly molded by the times they learned it in, and the time I learned it in.
Welcome to becoming an Adult, OP. When you realize that the world fucking sucks, nobody knows what they're doing, but everyone wants to claim that they're right, and they're fucking up everything by screaming it louder than everyone around them
Anyone who is prone to using harsh discipline shouldn't be allowed to have children
I disagree
I actually take pride in how my parents raised me, I’m not perfect and I have my flaws, but I think that I’m a good person and that makes me happy
OP here. I've never thought the world sucks. There's nothing much more I can say besides that.
Op here. I feel the same way good for you. I should have mentioned that
i wont let the abuse my parents did to me define me and you guys shouldnt either
I think my parents dropped the ball, but they gave me a halfway decent life. I had to take the initiative to go to the dentist and get my shit together. Even today I am still building myself into the man my father neglected.
I was about to question the halfway decent part until I read what you said about your dental issues. For what it's worth I've heard worse
