People who’ve never had kids—particularly young people—are quick to judge flawed but “good enough” parents harshly, even calling them “abusers.” Actual abusive parents are rare. Parents w/ their own baggage who sometimes drive their kids nuts? Parents who make mistakes? Oh yeah.

The point is NOT that abusive parents don't exist. Of course they do! The point is they aren't the majority. Disgruntled young people demonize even decent parents, and social media magnify and (in today's climate) reify that distorted view.

Well, since my smother literally sold me to pedophiles for my entire childhood and into my teens, I'd say, yeah, she ruined my life. They were so sadistic, I'm physically crippled for life. My father knowingly abandoned me to this woman. So, um, ABUSIVE PARENTS indeed!
