[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like a thinly-veiled rebuke to people who dare to share stories of their own abuse on this board.

The most callous and pompous response on such threads is always some variation on "your parents aren't perfect; no one is" or "I just hope your children don't judge you as you judged your parents." It reeks of condescension and privilege.

Congratulations, OP, on "forgiving" people who called you out on what sounds like immature behavior.

Spot on.  In all the years I've been reading this, I've never heard anyone cutting off their parents for the behavior you are describing.  It just doesn't rise to that level and that you can't see the difference speaks to your continuing immaturity and limited experience.[/quote]

This.  When people go so far against the prevailing culture so as to cut off their parents, there's usually a goddamn good reason.  OP, what do you want, a cookie?  Sounds like you were a little shit and your parents didn't handle it perfectly.  Doesn't change what happened to lots of other people in lots of other families.[/quote]
