[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A consequence of throwing intense marital trauma into your children's lives is that they will process it the way they need to process it.

When you make your problems your kids problems you lose control of the narrative. [/quote]

Maybe. But the way TikTok seems to work amongst the kids is that when they see someone getting a lot of attention for airing dirty laundry or for having some sort of affliction, they suddenly all start manufacturing their own dirty laundry and claiming various afflictions. Beware and check in on what your kids are posting (and seeing) every now and then.[/quote]

Tiktok does so this but kids do it in real life too. Once I overheard my daughter (I wasn’t eavesdropping, I was walking by her room and her door was open) suggest to her school counselor that her parents weren’t accepting of her sexuality (she is bi). But when DD came out to us, our reaction was “that’s great, we are proud of you, we are glad you feel safe enough to tell us!” so I disagree with her take and I think she just wanted the attention. She’s never getting Tiktok. [/quote]
