I remember someone once writing that they thought their abusive parent was a good person overall but a bad parent. This has made me really mad with society. I think my abusive parents would be seen in this dichotomy. They were mostly good people and were able to be successful in social aspects and business aspects of their lives. But at home they were abusive. If you had asked people what they thought about my parents they would have said that they are wonderful people. But this makes me so mad! Why do they get all this praise for the good things they have done when at home they are abusive? Why doesn't that get taken into consideration? Everyone thinks they are so wonderful. But really they aren't. But it doesn't matter what they do at home. They can be abusive and it doesn't matter. People still think they are good people. It is like as long as they can hide it, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what they do to me. Society still thinks they are these wonderful people.
