Parent:This is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you.
Child:Why?
Parent:Because you have faild me and your self.
How pathetic. Any good parent disciplines his child, because he understands that the consequences that behavior will bring their child more heartache and pain down the road. That same parent is heartbroken when his child makes choices that he knows will bring him harm.
The parent you describe is abusive. The fact that you don’t seem to know the difference underscores the point of our post.
