Parents don’t beat their kids because they’ve been beaten themselves, they do it because they want control, terror, obedience and power that violence gives them.
Parents don’t shame their kids for being ungrateful because they want more gratitude; they do it became they don’t want to do more than absolute minimum and hate to be asked to.
Parents don’t force their kids into ungrateful, bad conditioned and heavy work to teach “responsibility” and"work habits", they do it cause they don’t wanna do the work and humiliating a kid with calling it a chore is easier. If they wanted to create work habits they would offer rewards for it.
Parents don’t emotionally manipulate children into believing nobody would love them to “force them to live in reality”, they do it to keep the child too terrified and dependent to ever be able to look for love outside of parents.
Parents don’t fly into raging tantrums because they’re disrespected and hurt, they do it to make it too dangerous to stand up to them, they enjoy the power their rage obtains, to never be questioned, resisted or disobeyed. Its the ultimate power to always be cruel, selfish and wrong, yet never questioned or stood up to.
Parents don’t keep you in suspense and anxiety over what they’re gonna do to you because you deserve it or to make you a better person, they do it because they enjoy the power of torture and seeing terror and pain in children’s eyes.
Parents don’t overpunish, overplay concern, make themselves victims or deny the child’s feelings out of love. They do it out of greed, entitlement, neglect and contempt.
Good parents never do any of this. Only abusive parents could even think of doing this to children.
