    You won’t teach them empathy showing that you have none for them when you’re angry.

    Worse than that. My parents conditioned me to hurt myself when I make a mistake. They also instilled a permanent sense of guilt. So… I hurt myself a lot. I am getting therapy. I do not see much of a future for myself, my life has never been worth living. Everyone underestimates how bad it is.

      I’m glad you’re getting therapy. You’re right to tell people exactly how bad it’s been, because this isn’t small. I am very sorry.
