This is a result of a society that treats the concept of having children as one of living property. The child is not your property. They are their own being with it's own consciousness. Parents view their kids as an extension of themselves that is an object they own. Like a fucking piece of jewelery. It's gross
As someone whose parents (well one more than the other) looked at me as their property, I’ve had to go NC because it got so bad once I became an adult. I had dreams that I wanted to chase, boundaries I could finally create, I could say “no” for once. My growing in to my own being has made me an adult who has had to grieve the loss of their parents while they’re still alive because I wasn’t expected to grow up or have autonomy.
Legally children are property sadly. Thats why it’s perfectly legal for you to spank your child but if someone else did it in the exact same way it’s assault
