when I was a kid so many adults used to tell me “when you have a child of your own then you will understand (why adults bully and manipulate and condescend to children)” and like yeah now I understand… that all those adults were wrong and messed up lol https://t.co/onrBEu48sg
“Oh but your child hasn’t started expressing opinions and contradicting you yet, you will see soon enough” maybe; but I find this unlikelier by the day. I have *always* had a child expressing opinions and contradicting me WITHIN myself and I love him and care for him regardless
btw I wrote a book yall might like! I don’t precisely use language like “parenting yourself” but that’s basically what it’s about. we don’t have to repeat hostile, fearful patterns. we can be better than that: https://t.co/7HO6Stja6C https://t.co/YCUyfB5XYT
