Did you feel loved as a child?

@curiosi boomers are such selfish and narcissistic people. Not stellar parents. Sorry for your experience.

@easterniowegin I noticed same, my grandparents were considered "The greatest generation" they raised spoiled entitled brats.

What's curious to me is the reluctance of people to criticize parents at all. There's this strange cultural practice of (generally) deeming them sacred cows, while the children who experience emotional or covert abuse go unbelieved and thus continually abused and mistreated or worse, believed to be liars or "problem" children.@curiosi

@curiosi the 50s saw one of the biggest upswings in creature comforts in history. It created a lot of entitled kids.
A huge shift from the mentality of the Depression Era kids.

@AnonymouslyYours I remember telling teachers and they would say "No one could be that bad". Even now as an adult people will say "But they are your parents!". I was so abused I often wonder how that poor child survived.

That's one of the worst feelings: turning to adults you trust for their help and not being believed.@curiosi
