[quote=Anonymous]No not normal. But I’ve always felt that when I see a parent acting this way, it’s due to the way they were failed as children, to a lack of resources (not money, I mean emotional resources as well as external supports and community). I don’t necessarily feel sorry for the parents (I save that for the kids) but I don’t just write them off either, the way I would with physical abuse. I’ve worked with families in shelters and have encountered parenting like this in that environment. There, it always reads as fear to me. That super authoritarian parenting kicks in when the parent is scared— of losing them, or scared for them, or just scared of how bad things can get. Obviously Britney wasn’t living in a shelter when these videos were made, but she was in a terrible place, emotionally. It should not surprise anyone that this got passed down to her kids. Inter generational trauma is very common.[/quote]
