This shouldn’t need to be said

gothiccharmschool:

Parents: your children are their own people.
They are not clones of you.
They are not dolls for you to control.
Do not belittle them. Do not bully them. Do not tell them they don’t know their own hearts and minds, especially when it comes to gender and sexuality.
Love and support the child you have, not some idealized fiction that you think they should be.

child's therapist: your child has a mental disorder
parent: i'm supportive, understanding, and loving. i will do all i can to help my child.
child: i can't do this because my disorder makes it very hard.
parent: you're lazy
parent: you're immature
parent: get over it it's not that big of a deal
parent: grow up
parent: don't tell anyone about your disorder you should be ashamed of it
child: i'm insulted and i think your comments are abusive
parent: i've done nothing but support you with this!!!!

Me: Ton't TELL ME what to do, Mum. If you just ask nicely I'd be more likely to consider it!
Me: Also if you ask me I have the right to say no.
