idk, i expected abusing, gaslighting, and infringing on their rights to privacy to be basic things that everyone knows not to do to a child, but ig not.
i'd add more but i've blocked out so much stuff... yay trauma!
i feel like i shouldn't post this. idk how to end it. this isnt really a valuable post. just a rant.
