You teach your kids to fear everything. And when they get older, they are too afraid to get a house of their own because they don’t know how to be an adult. They become afraid of making the wrong decisions. You can’t expect your children to act like adults when you’ve protected them their whole life and didn’t teach them what they need to know. You’re either going to raise someone to be insecure and fearful, or you’re going to raise a rebel that walks all over you. Kids need balance. Kids need to be given the opportunity to make mistakes they can learn from. And they deserve a parent that will guide them through it, not for you to put a blindfold over their eyes. I get that you’re trying to help them; You’re not. You have taught your children to rely on you. You didn’t let them make mistakes. Now they don’t even take opportunities if they are uncertain of the outcome.

I feel like society normalizing mothers screaming and being angry at their children as long as they don’t beat them because ‘mothers love you more than anyone else’ should stop. It hurts victims of emotional and verbal abuse because they are told to keep loving their mothers since they “don’t abandon you, give you a roof, food, and clothing” and it makes them unable to identify if they’re being abused or try to fight back because “she still loves me.” Such things really have to stop.
