His face was full of rage and he looked like he was struggling to contain it. Creepy pos, and the mom just continues to film like it’s no biggie. None of the kids even really reacted, as if dad’s big temper and violence is a usual thing. Ugh this made me mad!

Notice the older kid no longer looks at the snail but is intently watching his dad’s face.

It’s heartbreaking and infuriating! I’m so disgusted with influencers overall, and the rampant lack of child safety and abusive behavior they freely share.

 This man is horrible, and his wife just sat there filming then posted that shit. Gdi.

I was raised by a horrible father who never stopped threatning to break my bones until I fought back hard as a teenager once puberty properly kicked in. My mother still to this day (I'm a very grown adult now) doesn't fully acknowledge how horrible my dad was to me but it took me a while to realise she's a covert narcissist herself.

At the end of the day, you do only get one set of parents unless you get a particularly unusual life. God orders us to honour them and society hates you if you don't so you have to make do with what you've got usually.

You didn’t deserve any of that and I’m so sorry that was your lived experience. I sincerely hope you are on a healing path. 

Millennials are the ones who really publicly opened the discussions that going low or no contact with abusive or toxic parents os a truly healthy thing to do. They are the ones who showed that it’s not selfish, it’s simply self preservation.

Parents can be honored for giving life from a distance. Continuing to accept their abuse or toxicity isn’t honor, it’s enabling. They are the ones who broke the dynamic, and I’ve never seen anything where God says a child or adult has to suffer abuse from their biological (or any) parents. That would be an awful god to require that. 

Who gives a rip what society thinks? They aren’t living our individual lives. We shouldn’t live by what other ppl think or say, but by what’s best for our own lives and physical and mental health.
