@ingrid perhaps. but if true, you have self-awareness. others of us who are yet more malevolent don't know what we've become

@ingrid I am prone to these things and always have to back it up with "don't curse the child don't curse the child."

But I DO sometimes hope that these people's kids grow up and cut all contact and live happier and freer lives.

My best self, on rare days, hopes that the person then learns from this experience and reconciles. Better than my dad did.

@ingrid you contain multitudes and also infinite light.
