[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand what you're saying, really I do.  My parents are and were very good parents.  My siblings are awesome.  But I don't think that negates my empathy or even my basic understanding of human interactions.  I would never suggest that "love is all you need, blah, blah, blah".  [/quote]

It actually does mean you don't know how to handle that situation. There is no other situation like having had terrible parents. You know no more about bad parents than your child-free friend knows about raising an infant.

Empathy and support is great. Your advice is not going to be.[/quote]

Since you have no idea of my overall life experiences you can't say I have no experience or that I'm incapable of empathy.

Just because someone has good parents does not mean they've grown up in a void.

However, I'm not insensitive to your argument, but I think if this is something which bothers you a lot, than I would suggest getting some therapy.  There's no way you are ever going to stop people from offering advice or trying to commiserate.[/quote]
