      But privacy is also important. You're not entitled to their feelings and they don't have to want your help.

      Privacy is earned with age. An infant has no right to privacy while a 15 yr old needs it. As for my help, they don't have to want it. I'm their parent, I'm obligated to care for them while they're in my house. That's attentive parenting.

      They have the right to keep their own feelings private until they want to share them for as long as they live. No-one has the right to access anyone's else's mind just as they don't have the right to access their body.

      My parents were incredibly liberal but I still found it very hard to tolerate any intrusion into my mind or attempts to control me. I ended up remaining in my room as much as possible and leaving home as soon as legally old enough. Independence was everything

      It doesn't sound like your parents set appropriate boundaries for you. I'm not judging, but you left home early, feel that violence is acceptable to 'express' anger, take your anger out on loved ones & think that children have the same right to privacy that adults do.

      Helen: "[Children] have the right to keep their feelings private..." You: "...[you] think that children have the same right to privacy that adults do." I hope you're not in charge of teaching your children reading comprehension.

      If you don't give your children freedom of thought and to feel things without sharing them with you and letting you decide how they deal with those thoughts or feelings, you're about as far from someone who should be giving parenting advice as I can imagine. That's insane.

      None of that conflicts with what I said. Are you ok?

      Yes, they did! We disagree with you. Your attitude seems really smothering and unhealthy! I get the feeling that something has led you to feel that emotions and expressions of anger are inherently dangerous and will lead to violence unless tightly controlled. I think not.

          Are you judging me? (eye roll) My kids have been in the mental health system for years bc I take care of them. Multiple psychologists love my parenting style & my kids. Even CPS fucking loves me. Teachers & school counselors love me. I simply advocate for non-violence.
