I feel so sad for this poor kid. He can’t possibly care about this kind of stuff but he has to fake it to please his idiot parents. Yes, of course, there are worse things that can happen to a kid. But this is never an isolated thing. It’s always a symptom that a child serves as a mirror to his parents. They don’t see him as a separate human being.

Some parents simply “own their kids”.
Their offspring are little more than “another piece of private property”. To be controlled and made to serve the parents’ needs and desires.LikeLike

That’s exactly what I’m talking about. And it’s very very bad for a child.
