It's fucked up to cut your offspring off because they criticize you. It's fucked up to cut your offspring off because they question you. It's fucked up to cut your offspring off because they're silently suffering. It's fucked up to cut your offspring off because they're loudly suffering.

When is it ok to cut offspring off? When they are a legitimate threat to your safety. Criticism is not a legitimate threat to your safety. Being questioned is not a legitimate threat to your safety. Witnessing suffering is not a legitimate threat to your safety.

@Jazzy_Butts someone that cuts off their progeny for complaint, criticism or challenging feels that their parenting is threatened. sort of unconsciously acknowledging they did/are doing a poor job

@doorroo it's very selfish and it feels like being mutilated, as the offspring. It robs them of lessons, they will have incomplete instruction, and those ripples get big.

@Jazzy_Butts i can't relate to the situation since my family life is the exact opposite; i empathise knowing it's shite to be without the security and connection, being antagonised and detached from who you come from is basically the mental equivalent of never being breastfed or having an emotional umbilical cord cut too soon.

have to find a new Father in something higher and scrape up any good the Mother provided
@Jazzy_Butts your offspring cutting you off though, that's always justified
