Well... You're not wrong, anyway. These forums are filled with dysfunctional people who have caused a lot of pain and suffering to their children. They're not good people, by any metric. But I disagree that it's an uninteresting topic. The adult children of these parents are often struggling in their own lives with problems that directly tie back to their dysfunctional parenting. For those adult children, it's critical to the healing process to come to an understanding that their parents behavior was not OK or normal. If this isn't interesting to you, personally, that's OK... But then wouldn't it make more sense to just sit out of the discussion, and find another topic to comment on? By dismissing it, you run the risk of coming off as insensitive or disrespectful to the people who do benefit from participating in this kind of discussion.
