Everything is traumatizing to these people. Their mother told them to hold the bottle for their baby sister. Oh no, what is this? Is this Parentification, the Source of More Trauma? Despite the fact that the elder sibling would prefer to sleep, perchance to dream-- and there lies the rub! For in that sleep, what trauma comes!

- renewiltord 1y agoIf this were the only way they would exist, then it would not stop me from bringing them into being. My ancestors made the right choice. I will not deny my genetics their legacy. If I choose other conditions, it’s not because of trauma but because comfort is good.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoRight, you prefer other conditions because they're better. We have decades of research to show that more space and privacy is not merely a matter of comfort. Or, if it is, that "comfort" affects more things than one would expect. I've already linked to them above.
- renewiltord 1y agoI grew up in conditions you would never countenance and I’m incredibly well adjusted. What value are your systems when they lead to your trauma. You are constantly traumatized and I am not, despite facing conditions you could not believe. Either I am inherently an übermensch or my methods are better. You have your loneliness epidemics, your PTSD, and your therapy. I don’t. Or to put it evocatively: https://x.com/pjayevans/status/1612904509575139328?s=46 https://x.com/pjayevans/status/1612904509575139328?s=46
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoThis would be an excellent rebuttal to the claim that everyone who experiences a specific type of hardship later has a specific outcome. But for the claim you're responding to, this appears to mostly just be some cringey self-aggrandizement?
