RE: Real Talk #2 - The Pain Of Loving A Toxic Parent
You've brought out really a critical issue here. Parenting indeed is a skill that develops while being present to the children and their life.
But, unfortunately, most of the parents are not able to know about it because of their 'parent-ego' trip. The basis of this ego is the presumption that they are superior because they have given birth to you and brought you up.
It's like all other ego trips in life. We all have them. If people do not listen to such kind of ego trips, their personality feels threatened. So, the result is the behaviour you've talked about.
But, I would suggest you to not take it as a negative thing. As you will go ahead and experience your life , you'll come to know why life gave you such thing and why it was important. Each and every life experience has a hidden lesson. Once you learn it, the equation changes.
Glad you wrote about it. It was worth reading. Have a great day :)
I believe so too and I know there are a lot of people out there who have had it so much worse than I have and I empathize with them. I understand their pain and I tell them the same things that you just told me, to look at that horrible experience as an opportunity to become stronger and better than those who hurt you. That's how you take your revenge: by proving to them that you survived their abuse and came out even better.
Thanks for the amazing comment! Hope to see you again :)
