You know what? 

Every parent needs to acknowledge that they have the potential to seriously fuck up their child.

Every parent needs to learn to see themself as a potential abuser, because every parent is a potential abuser.

Yes, even you, Mx. “I would never hurt my child.” Because a lot of the most abusive parents out there are parents who “would never hurt their child.” They’re people who believe, sincerely and strongly, that their deeds are “for the child’s own good.” 

If you are a parent, you have a person in your care. Just because kids are “sill developing” doesn’t make them Not People. In fact, it means that everything that you do to them, every time that you ignore or belittle or hurt them in ANY way, will stay with them for the rest of their life. And they won’t think to themself, while it’s happening or after the fact, that you’re doing it to teach them a lesson. They’ll think to themself that you are angry with them, that you hate them, and that they are not good enough for you. 

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

Some are from dealing with you
