my parents were Bad People but i really own it. that's part of how i do the work. that's the tea. but as i reflect on so many other parents, Worse People by several orders of magnitude, i realize i gave my folks a Bad Rap. maybe i just need to re-frame their misdeeds

my parents were very flawed people too....but at least they weren't in the indentured servant business!

Honestly if someone said to me "yes my parents were involved in a monstrous crime but I still love them as my parents," OK, I could let that go. But "actually they were doing a public service," come on.

i'm here for it. for example, my mom got in the newspaper for some naughty crimes, and really, it would've been easy to re-frame it after the fact by saying the only thing she did wrong was not paying those kids the fair market value of their emotional labor
