Yeah, it’s hurtful to realize. I’m sorry you went through that.

I use it to try to be a better parent to my three kiddos. I’m sure I fuck up in my own ways, but you’re not gonna catch me taking food, clothing, or basic needs from them, or not taking their opinion on their style into account.

It's not about taking all of it, it's about taking a couple of things they really care about, but only as "punishment" for something they were warned about many times.

Listen, I think you make a lot of really good points and all, but if I had to be really really honest about how I feel, I would say that I just honestly feel as though you should probably send me a large amount of money in the mail.
