I guess its really on a case by case basis and we can't be too
quick to judge / blame either the parent or the child for the
outcome of things. Afterall, it takes two hands to clap rite ? No
one is perfect and its foolhardy to believe that parents (or the
children for that matter) are oblivious to their actions. We're all
adults here after all. There is a level of expectation that we
perform at a reasonable social level in society and that should
also equate equal respect to our families and close friends. I'm a
bit tired of people playing that "get out of jail free" card where
they insist that their families, BFs, relatives, etc need to put up
with their bad tempers or unreasonable demands simply cuz blood is
thicker than water; wake up. One day, people will have enough and
they will walk out on you. My two cents worth - if someone is a
toxic influence on your life, you reserve the right to remove that
person :)
the last time my mum do that, and it's obviously her fault, i
left home. a few years already now i never return. i believe when
people do wrong things, they need to apologize and change for the
better, then people will respect them.
can't say just they are parents means they are always right.
what about those fathers sexually abuse their child for years? all
those people who say mother always have the child best interests at
heart obviously never see newspaper about mother killing their
children or flushing the babies down the toilet...
nowadays children are of a different generation. you cannot use
past generation child rearing methods to raise the new gen
children. it is just not effective.
now back to the topic, since you're not me, probably you want to
let bygones be bygones, forgive and forget. people like me super
stubborn, what i believe in, i strongly go for it. i can't say
stubborn is a good or bad trait because it's how i grow my company
through the recession period and endure through all the hardships.
some of the hardships came because i strongly believe in my values.
i would rather suffer hardships in the name of justice than go the
corrupted way and take the easy life.
