What do you guys think about Dr. K's stories from his experience as a therapist and psychiatrist? Let me know what you think!

[davidyang]

My parents will hit me with "You will thank me later once you are grown up." They cannot see a future where I am unhappy with the decision that they made for me.

“Don’t argue with someone committed to misunderstanding you”

Bad parenting is by far one of the most underrated problems in our society.

The other people in the comment section: "just wait it out till you're 18" meanwhile I'm sitting in a room I'm renting out off of welfare, at 16, because my family was abusive and the children's aid society determined that I was better off out of there by myself. I agree with them.

My parents always told me "as long as you sleep under this roof you'll live under my rules."

So instead I slept on the roof. Problem solved.

I once said to my Dad: "Can't we have a reasonable discussion like two adults who see eye to eye? We both have the same rights, we are both equal human beings." He replied: "No, you don't have human rights, you only have daughter rights." I am a western woman in my 30's.

A lot of people really need to understand that to have interactions like this, you need to be mostly independent

dr k's lush beatiful hair blowin in the wind is all the therapy i need

"They wanted a robot for a son". This feels too much like the real thing

[TheRealGigachad]

"You being upset by the injustice, doesn't actually, by itself, change the injustice. [...] This is something I know is confusing to the internet."

By far my favorite moment of the video.

[banditiot]

I really don't understand parents sometimes. It's like making your way through a maze avoiding mines and if you step on a mine your parents get mad at you.

[mediokritet]

This sounds like a genuinely good advice in most cases. When you're dealing with an extremely fragile ego even the most calm, collected and thoughtful question like that might cause an absolute meltdown.

[artistsComplex]

Parenting ain’t build-a-bear, you don’t get to design your kid and beat/abuse/blame them for not being whatever your ego needs them to be.

[amerikatt]

Had a conversation like this with my parents and they called me mentally ill and a sociopath… I eventually cut them off

[themike_]

I had an Indian friend in college who's parents were very controlling. They forced her into computer engineering bc that's what her dad did, and they refused to let her date bc they wanted to arrange her marriage as theirs was arranged. She suffered with severe anxiety and depression and had really stunted social skills and I have no doubt that her parents have almost everything to do with that. It's a very sad situation.

[ace.of.space.]

i liked the bit about "how they treated you is sowing the karmic seeds for how you treat them" my parents seem to have completely forgotten about the seeds they planted in the terrible way they interacted with me in middle / high school, and keep wondering why i don't want to be around them as a college student.

[hamzahhasan]

Unfortunately a lot of these situations require a decent amount of financial independence which in todays world in a lot of places is very hard to achieve at the age where these issues really start to affect most people, but other than that this is amazing

[koopk]

im 33 years old and im convinced the 2 generations above me were raised horribly, and are a big part of most issues in the world, especially actual baby boomers

[H.A.R.D.B.O.I.L.E.D]

So basically... you need to be the parent of your parents, by guiding them slowly as if they're some teenagers in rebellious phase...

LMAO, thats funny and sad at the same time
