Like every time someone posts a study about how it’s bad, you get a huge flood of people saying stuff like “I was spanked as a kid, yet I’m fine”.
This is pretty much all hardships isnt it?
“I had to work 14 hour days when I was young so you should too!”
“I had to walk to school in the blizzard up a hill in the ice so you should too!”
“When I was young we didnt have birth control so the young people shouldnt have it now either!”
Instead of having the response of: “That shit was horrible and no one should have to face it ever again.” that normal people should have.
Yeah. I think to those people, they have to rationalize their parents traumatizing them in some way. It’s really sad and fucked up. The child-brain rationalizes the trauma into thinking they deserved it or it bettered them in some way, and the adult brain either addresses that or keeps the rationalization going.
