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.
@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.
