Every generation gets fucked up in new and interesting ways. We all grow up with our own traumas. How we lived our lives informs how we view life. And we respond to all of that in two major ways: acceptance or rejection. Acceptance is repeating the mistakes of the past. Basically neglecting children and turning them into adults sooner than they're ready. Rejection is making sure that does not happen at all. Doing the complete opposite of what was done to us. They're both wrong. The answer is some weird blend of the two. Children need the autonomy to become adults but also need the safety net of having actual adults around.
