Lastly, if your defense is “well he just took Kirk to a place”, then I say this in love- you need to seek help.
If your “place” is calling your child poor and a bitch ass and a mf-er, then you need to seek the professional help of someone who can help you better process your emotions, anger and frustration.
It’s 2021 and we have access to healthier modes of parenting and communication through therapy. And, if you’re in therapy, please actually do the work. The fruit of it is beautiful.
And should the world learn how you violently talk to your children (even if you feel wronged or the full conversation wasn’t played), please find a way to publicly apologize to that child—especially if you’re offering a public apology to the world for what you said to that child.
The continued dismissal (per the child) is partly what got us here. Doing it publicly, again, doesn’t help. It only hurts.
