It's an excellent point. You're not right.

He made no point. He changed the topic.

But you first tell me that you don't understand the 'point' and now you tell me that he didn't make a 'point', and yet your post says he's not right about the 'point'. Dude, you're either not trying to understand the post or you don't want to, and in either case, you can't make an argument about it and back up that argument. He makes an excellent point about the hypocrisy of the right wing assholes who've helped cause school shootings that are almost unique to the US - all because of brainwashing voters to think they need immediate access to assault weapons for absolutely everyone - and yet they cry like babies about drag queens who are offering readings, as if that's destroying society. Meanwhile, numerous children have lifetime PTSD because of the NRA and right wing, not to mention the many innocents who've died. Dems also take NRA money, and AIPAC money, but the topic is - wtf should anyone care about any drag queens? That's totally right wing propaganda. Parents can determine what to do with their kids. End of story.

Parents can determine what to do with their kids.

The solution to that is awareness. Somehow from the time I was quite small I knew my parents were crazy. Maybe it’s because I loved to hang out with the new babies and their moms from our neighborhood and saw how other parents behaved. Also my parents insisted on strict silence about anything that was said or happened in our home. Sus for sure.

When I had my own kids I insisted that they never be hit or hurt by anyone. My father often made comments about how my kids “needed a good spanking”, as if there were such a thing. Finally I told him we would leave our visit if he ever spoke of violence against my children, even leaving in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner one year.

We are all responsible for our own healing and for our own bad behavior, regardless of who taught us to do it. Being an abused child taught me how to be a loving, protective parent. Our home was a fun and peaceful sanctuary. I’m still pretty messed up in many ways, but I managed to raise 3 kids who did not suffer a repeat of what was done to me.

Professionally I have always worked with parents and young children teaching appropriate boundaries and consequences. Those of us who know the truth must stand up for kids.
