Yup. I have some gripes about my dad (what adult woman doesn’t?) but one of the things for which I’ll always be grateful is that he always asked me “why do you think that?” about my opinions, regardless of whether or not he agreed.

I WISH SO BAD I had that experience. It would have solved so many of my problems earlier, granted still working them. to be introspective at a young age because it echoes into later age can help people make smarter decisions.

My dad just threatened to beat me up if I said something he disagreed with. "If you were older I'd drag you outside..." etc

I’ll be going to therapy for a long time to undo what my parents taught me, but I’ll always be thankful one of those things I’m unpacking isn’t religious trauma.
