It kind of sounds like a form of exposure therapy.

I was not able to read this, as I am an idiot, but I upvoted just for the effort.

It’s not weird. I would affirm yourself that they did not do everything right, and the things you’re angry about you have good reason to be. But let the anger and hate fade. They were probably trying their best. And the older you get the more you realize that we are all winging it. Now that you are an adult you can set healthy boundaries and interact with them on your own terms.

There’s some stockholm syndrome between children and parents and I think it’s natural to get angry as you move past that. But as an adult you can have a relationship with them where you see them more as flawed peers than omnipotent parents. Of course not everyone will want to have that relationship, but if you can and want to then I think it’s worth it.

I’ve only been off reddit for 6 months or so, but I went back recently, and was amazed at the amount of clickbait type post, like the ones that you see on Facebook from some random account you don’t follow, just obvious engagement farming with no quality, I wondered if it had been like that for a while and I just hadn’t noticed.

If AI is so smart, why don’t we just ask it to fix the power grid crisis?

Oh I guess I’m going to see the new Superman now.

I saw your incorrect comment on top and though “what is this, reddit?”.

Then you owned up to it and thanked him for the info. Nope! Definitely not reddit.
