its moira: my parents did it (and it was hard!) and i am thankful every day for it. your kid will be, too.

Whenever someone trots out this tiresome "I was hit as a kid and I turned out fine" bullshit, I remember this piece by @mobute.bsky.social. It still takes my breath away. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Cannot describe how tedious, dubious and ugly this piece is.

Thank you for sharing this; I can tell it's going to stick with me. Today isthe first Thanksgiving in my house with my new son and there's nothing I want more than to be damn sure I break the cycle that was handed down to me.
