I know people here are vehemently against talking bad about ones' own parents
I'm not. I lived with some awful examples, and I know the fake church has dumbed society down so much that it's all too common to find people defending abusive situations.
I want to smack the shit out of these brain dead people when they tell me "oh, well that's your mom." No dude, when your parents abuse you, like really abuse you, you don't make excuses. You get away from them, just like any other abusive human being.
My mother used people, knowing they would parrot these mindless morals without giving it a second thought. All this so she could keep getting away with abuse. It was always too late when these people woke up and realized that they were lied to.
But I digress, lets look at Ephesians 6:
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3“that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
4And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord
There's two sides to this agreement. You obey your parents as they raise you to follow the Lord, and they don't provoke you to wrath; against them or God, while doing so.
Now use your best judgement, does your history provoke wrath towards following God's commandments? This is a tricky one, because keep in mind he has a commandment to obey your parents.
So if they do provoke you with abusive situations to mistrust them, then yes, they are provoking you to wrath against the commandment of "Honor your father and mother".
Trust me, absorb that and save yourself the years of counseling.
Thank you, I wholly agree that parents should not be defended when they genuinely suck and are abusive. The type of people you describe who say "they're your parents dude" are the type of commenters I was afraid of getting. There's a double standard here: if you saw somebody on the street who was doing something dumb, like wearing a mask, you might call them out on it, or at least think "wow that person is dumb." However, if I write about my parents doing dumb things, some people will say that my parents should be forgiven.. for no other reason than the fact that they're parents. Double standard. All those vaxxtards that people here hate on.. many of those vaxxtards are parents, who force their kids to get vaccinated.
As for your mother.. I bet the situation you described isn't all that uncommon, where the parent leans on the fact that people in society tend to blindly defend the parent, no matter the abuse that's secretly occurring. I've done a lot of research on abusive parents over the past couple years and have tried seeking support for it online. If it's any reassurance, I want you to know that there are a lot of people out there who see through the tricks that abusive parents have up their sleeves, like your mother seems to have - a lot of people out there who don't blindly defend the parents and realize that covert abuse might be happening within the household.
I've been on reddit to help me through this parental trauma, but I posted here on .win for this particular issue because reddit is of course a leftist propaganda platform. And to anyone who reads this and thinks I'm an undercover redditor trying to break up peoples' relationships with their parents - no, I think that's an absolutely evil thing to do - it's just that shitty parents do really exist, and in great abundance.
