All you have to do is reverse the roles to see the inequity.
People say that, but when you extend this principle to abusive parents of adult children, something short-circuits. People are shocked when they hear that I don’t see my abusive mother, even I never chose that relationship in the first place, unlike a girlfriend or wife.https://twitter.com/philthatremains/status/1137928624923914240 …

Completely agree about toxic parents. I could see it, even as a child, and never doubted my own mind on this. Never understood ppl who tolerate this crap once grown.

I imagine the thought scares people instinctively. "Wait, my kid can potentially leave forever if I fuck up enough?" I'm glad you cut the toxic elements of your life out.

The biggest issue here is that the adult child many times does not have the RIGHT to leave on their own. They do not have adult rights the way other adults do. It's not a precisely fair comparison.

Could you provide an example, I don't follow what you're saying.

Short circuits is just what saboteurs need because they lead to further short circuits.

My alcoholic mother was physically and emotionally abusive. I left home at 17 and never spoke to her again. It has made a huge difference in my life and I have no regrets.

My deepest sympathies

That is kind of you, sir. It was her loss, not mine.

I’m sure that is the case – it’s very sad in this world: if you lose a parent to illness, people are incredibly sympathetic; if you lose a parent to evil, not so much.

People will say anything that's guaranteed to get them nothing but social approval.
