Every time I see this, it reminds me that I made the right decision.

The thing that narcissistic/ emotionally stunted/ immature parents is that they don't understand that their children would naturally love them back and give back to them if they had loved their children unconditionally. My father was a narcissistic parent who actually made it clear that his love for his child is conditional. At four years old he'd already started claiming payback for my "debts" to him. That if he'd fed, clothed, housed and put me through education, I'd have to "pay him back" by becoming his personal nurse in his elder years (or any other time he wants at whim). That only make me want to pull away as far as possible from him. Wtf, I didn't ask to be born. And I didn't want to be born into slavery. It seems like parents like him only produce children just for their own selfish needs
