You would be incorrect. I have kids. Oldest is 22. Youngest is 4. I didn't say that nothing could go wrong. I said THIS wouldn't happen if you raise kids properly. I stand by that. And just where do you think these psychological issues that are 'so far outside the parenting realm' come from? Do they just magically appear? Parents just trip, slip on the floor and whoops their kid is a tranny? In order for this to occur, it takes a rudderless child; a child no receiving guidance from parents. A child seeking approval and acceptance that they aren't finding in their homelife. For a child to push away parents in favor of psychologists and therapists indicates a mile high pile of parenting fail. And if they aren't a huge bag of fucking fail to begin with why the hell are their kids in therapy?
Yes, some psychological issues are COMPLETELY out of the parenting realm.
It's clear to me that we should agree to disagree. Mental health issues run in families, not everyone is born neurotypically. I have two children with LDs which are thankfully treatable with a good educational environment and they're very well adjusted. Because of my experience with their school I have met many kids with anxiety and other challenges which stem from their LDs. This is something they are BORN with, it is a neurological disorder.
I'm thrilled you have two kids and you've been able to see one easier side of the coin, but to think for an instant that just raising your kids right will avoid the challenges which come from physical or neurological predispositions is, frankly, naive.
