Mom Refuses To Take Accountability On Daughter’s Mental Issues, Blames It On Her Personality

Family relationships are even more complicated than relationships in general. Children’s attitudes and behaviors are shaped by these relationships, especially parent-child relationships. An individual’s formative years affect his or her attitude and personality for the rest of their life. It is for this reason that parent-child relationships should be based on mutual respect and understanding-but many parents seem to think differently. Parents are just humans after all, so there is no picture-perfect way to raise a child. A person can, however, judge whether bad parenting is taking place in certain circumstances. A person has a difficult time sharing how they really feel, especially when they are in a position of authority. Some children hide their emotions from their parents out of fear that their parents will dismiss them, or in a general sense that doing so will cause more harm than good.
