Even when I was growing up, I've always observed that parents are abusive by nature because of how much power they wield. Most parents don't know how to control that kind of power and become low-key abusive. I came to this epiphany in junior high when I owned a cat. I said to myself "holy shit, I can COMPLETELY control if this cat survives or not; if I don't feed it or give it water and keep it in the house, it'll eventually die. Damn." I was 13 or so at the time. Don't worry, I didn't entertain that. I made sure to take care of my cat. But that observation DID cross my mind back then. Don't think many parents see it that way. At all. They just get too excited to start a family or like Dr. K says their own upbringing gets them to project their own pain onto their kids.
