Cannot express how disinterested I am in seeing traumatized characters "reconcile" with their canonically shitty parental figures.
I probably don't have to even say this but this has turned out to be the most "omg Blorbo from my shows" post I could have made. I have no idea who tf 90% of the people in the tags are but you're very passionate about them.
#like unless thats the whole point of the media and they take extreme time and care to establish the parents changing#and deserving that forgiveness#otherwise its frankly irresponsible to broadcast blood is thicker than water to kids#unfortunately a television set might be the only voice telling a child their autonomy and feelings are real and matter#everyone has already told them a million times to forgive and forget they need at least one voice saying#if all this person does is make you miserable and scared and would not forgive you as easily gtfo!!!!!
