It's still not the child's fucking fault.

It is still your responsibility as a parent to raise the child.

And a narcissistic parent will say, after all I have done for you and when you're referring to, well, what have you done for me?

I raised you.

Like I literally didn't let you starve to death.

I literally had a roof over your head.

I did the bare minimum of what a parent should be doing.

Next one.

Sorry I wasn't the perfect, let's say parent, insert relationship status.

Sorry I wasn't the perfect mother.

Sorry I wasn't the perfect.

So if you make one statement that could be deemed as some sort of a judgment instead of them saying yes.

Yeah, wow, you know, it's interesting how like parenting has changed so much and now in hindsight we look at what we used to do and how things have evolved for the better or how things have evolved.

Instead of opening it up for a healthy debate or discussion about parenting styles or what was wrong back then and maybe they didn't realise and now they can reflect, no, they'll then say, oh –

You think I made a mistake?

Oh, sorry.

Apologies.

I'm so sorry.

I wasn't the perfect parent.

Sorry.
