Thank you for sharing. I think it is rare that people share this perspective. It sucks that we can't know if your experience is 1 in 100 or 1,000,000.

Even further, I worry that if i ever have kids i'd have to distance myself from parents as I do not approve on how they live or manage their lives. As their child i can manage via effective boundaries and I'm able to ignore their stupidity.
If i ever have kids though, they will want to be part of their lives and I can't really say no and keep their delusions alive.
They think they did a good job raising me and they would use that as an argument and I would never want to enlighten them with what i really feel.
i wouldn't want them parenting my kids like they did me
they love/loved me but love isn't enough. i do care deeply for them, but i do not respect their judgement.
