saw that new Frankenstein movie on Netflix and yeah there's really something about parents "creating" and abusing their kids and then blaming said abused kids for being "monsters" when these kids grow up to be adults with trauma and issues, when all these people with childhood trauma ever wanted was love and gentleness from the people who made them, but all they got was fear and pain, and now they really have to live the rest of their lives with the pain and the fear their own parents inflicted on them (and if they ever express anger in any way, shape or form, they are deemed violent monsters)
