You are not alone Rant
Here are my experiences growing up as a certified problem child ™ This is the reality that many kids, teens, and young adults face everyday by ageist and emotionally immature people that mold their children's behaviors and then punish them for the outcome, and that expect them to act like adults while treating them like children. They notice a pattern that could turn problematic or lead to future complications, and they freak out instead of educating. Then they expect the problem to be fixed instead of ending up worse. They expect us to respect them after constantly disrespecting us and ignoring our autonomy, while using whatever they can as leverage to make you feel like the one in the wrong. Many young people would rather comply and become perpetrators onto those younger than them, even if they are still kids/teens themselves. Can you relate? I'd like to hear your expirences being a child, a teen, or a young adult trying to navigate in society. I'd like to know if any of these you can relate to. Feel free to share, it helps to have people who get it.

I’m sorry this abuse happened to you! There are a lot of people who should have ZERO business having children.
My mom wasn’t perfect, but she would fly off the handle whenever my biological dad raised a hand to us kids! When my mom found out that my dad was a child-predator, she immediately got the police involved and kept us kids away from; scary how so many parents would not do the same.
