I completely disagree. There are so many abusive parents out there, many far worse than the ones depicted in the story. People who turn out as badly as the MC are few and far between. If we're to sympathize with him, why not sympathize with the parents as well - their parents were probably abusive as well. Does that mean they all deserve death? Where do you draw the line? Or does that means it's okay to be physically and emotionally abusive to others because you were emotionally abused? The only thing one can gather from this story is that the MC and his brother are pathetic people with parents who didn't met their emotional needs. As someone who also studies psychology (though I don't know if you did more than take one one class), I find your perspective on this very narrow.
I know we're supposed to hate the mc, but as a parent myself, I don't. He's as much of a victim as his brother is. If they didn't have the single worst not obviously abusive parents in the planet, I would, but my god they're the absolute worst. My heart is absolutely bleeding for the both of them. I may have taken an insane amount of child care courses, scrolling, and babysat like crazy when I was young. I may even have gotten a nearly perfect grade in my childhood psychology class in college; but even just growing up with my parents, as emotionally abusive one was and quick to use guilt the other two were, even if I didn't have siblings to watch over and sit when my parents were out,I would STILL be a better parent than either of theirs. With all the above it's probably obvious I take our future generations, and being a good role model to kids very seriously, so it will come likely as absolutely zero surprise when I say that I would absolutely wish death upon these parents were they real people, and everyone who's heard of a golden child knows very well that they're not much of an exaggeration. I was going to sleep after this but now I need something more light hearted first. I should have known when it was the only one in the key word I searched, that hasn't been read, not to touch it. No one to blame but myself.
