Some of the shit I read on AITA and /r/Relationship advice cause serious damage to my faith in humanity. Not just that people are so brutally unkind, but also that people get to the point of these really, really serious problems without running for the exit. A lot of the time it feels like the victim was just never told that they can stand up for themselves and that they deserve respect and consideration.
That’s what happens when parents are working 120 hours and not talking to their kids. I swear, I grew up in a “middle class” neighborhood and most of the kids I grew up are like this.
