Parenting Pro-Tip #5000
Parents disciplining their children should actually mean:
Helping them learn from their mistakes
Explaining that whatever they did is wrong and what they can do to not do it again
Explaining the consequences of their actions and then helping them avoid the consequences
Using reason to teach them right from wrong
Grounding them for a brief period of time (usually for one day at the shortest and for no longer than a week as the longest)
Not letting them do certain things (i.e. watching TV, playing video games, hanging out with their friends, etc.) for a brief period of time
Teaching them to treat people of all ages with mutual respect
Parents disciplining their children should not mean:
Hitting/beating them up for being disobedient
Destroying their prized possessions
Locking them up in an extremely dark room for several hours
Threatening to institutionalize them
Threatening to have them arrested
Threatening to send them away to a boarding school
Threatening to kick them out and let them die in the streets
Threatening to disown them
Holding certain things over their heads
Grounding them for longer periods of time than necessary
Forcing them to do ridiculous amounts of chores after grounding them
Chaining them to a garage/basement and throwing meals at them
Sending them to bed without food (most likely dinner)
Screaming at them/blowing up at them
Calling them names
Cussing them out
Abusing them anyway they see fit
Brainwashing them into doing what the parents themselves want

That constant shift between being in denial about your abusive parent. So often I ask myself: is it really abusive or am I just being ungrateful and asking for too much in life?

Abused as a child things:
When your mom says you can’t tell anyone about the abuse because no one will “understand how your family works” or “that’s just how it works for us”

today, my therapist called the abuse by my father "domestic violence." it affirmed me, but i couldn't tell why. i've been calling it child abuse myself for years, afterall. why does domestic violence feel different? well. it gives me a fuller picture.
i have been abused as a child by people who weren't family. and it's never just been that my dad is abusing me, his child. he's abusing his family. his abuse of my mother impacts the way she parents me. him abusing both my sister and i impacts our relationship. by calling it domestic violence, you make what's happening clear. you give all the harm a name, which doesn't just give me a voice, but puts blame where it belongs - on him.
i share this because i doubt im the only one who's gone through a lifetime of domestic abuse without calling it that. domestic abuse doesn't only affect an intimate partner, and domestic violence isn't only physical. your trauma matters. the collective trauma of your household/family matters. all of it matters. you can call it what it is.

any parent who knows that their spouse/partner is abusing their kid and still defends the abuse and chooses them over their own kid should just get buried in a ditch, honestly.
you had a job as a parent to fucking protect your kid, but you betrayed them by siding with the person who hurt them, when your kid came to you for COMFORT, HELP, AND SUPPORT. you see a child being abused, and your first reaction is, "my partner is doing it, so it's fine."
you chose a shitty person over your kid's safety. this shit makes kids grow up to have trust issues, fear of abandonment, and a shit ton of other issues because their development got fucked up at a young age. all because of YOU. fuck you. you failed as a parent, and you shouldn't even be around kids in general.

Learnt from my sister that when I was a mentally ill teen, my dad made jokes about me killing myself.
Fun fact) His abuse fucking caused my mental illness. I'm fucked up because YOU had to come home drunk and beat us!
Fuck me for worrying about his damn health, that asshole never even cared about his crotch spawn (me) and I've been trying to bond with him but after learning this I am definitely going no contact.
Fuck you. Fuck your health smoke yourself to death for all I care! Throw in a couple of beers as well!
