This chapter portrays “caring” mothers so well. It showed how toxic it can get with parents thinking they are right, and thinking they are nurturing, while stuck in the same mindset to their times and how children grow up in a an age that evolves and introduces new ideas of good and bad. It might be their way of thinking it is protecting them but makes the child feel confused, unsafe in that environment, and overal not healthy. As someone who has had a parent like this it hit to close to home and make me tear up a bit because I didn’t realize how toxic one of my parent was until I grew up.

Same my dad is like that and my mom kind off but it was guilt manipulation at its finest. Because if that I couldn’t ask for anything/became hyper independent. Same I felt sick to my stomach when she was just pointing out the basic needs she has to do for a child. It’s just manipulation and playing the victim. It’s ugly
