[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,
I hardly ever post here. My parents were not perfect, but okay.

I believe some of the posters here have experienced a very difficult upbringing that maybe you and I were spared and that they are truly speaking about their lives.

Why should they have gratitude for a bad parents? If these posters could choose, maybe they would rather have your parents.

I guess i disagree. We all have issues and challenges growing up regardless of your background/culture. In many other cultures, blaming on your parents (whether it's justifiable or not) is just unthinkable. Here, people do it without hesitation. Always blaming their upbringing/parents for their own failures.

I came from one of those cultures where blaming the parents is unthinkable. Guess what, it's one heck of a repressive society to grow up in. It's not just parents that cannot be blamed, but also the government and all authority. Basically, everything is authoritarian and there's no freedom of expression.

There are lots of problems in this country, but I'm thankful that at least we have the freedom to question some of our questionable upbringing, challenge abusive parents, and voice our dissent against political leaders. [/quote]

You are getting all kinds of things mixed up but, yes, you are allowed to hate your parents. [/quote]

And you're being deliberately obtuse by minimizing some people's suffering at the hands of their abusive parents as "We all have issues and challenges growing up regardless of your background/culture"

I don't hate my parents. [b]I do reserve the right to question their parenting methods. And every child should have that right.[/b] To blanketly state that it's unthinkable to blame one's parents is antithetical to a society that values free think and free speech.

You can question all you want. We all have that right. Questioning is not blaming though. Again you are getting things mixed up. [/quote]

And yet the OP calls that being "ungrateful and highly judgmental". [/quote]
