I think my brother and I experienced abuse.
When I was a little girl, I thought I had the best dad in the whole world. He was gentle, kind, he took me to the park on his free time and would push me on the swings, he used to sing songs to me and let me play games with him.
I feel horrible writing this because my dad is praised for being a good man who raised a “well rounded family”. My brother and I are considered “good kids” and my mom is a “good wife” and my dad is an “honest, good man”.
In public, I really liked my dad’s personality. He is charismatic, goofy, and has an infectious smile.
Even in private, I liked him on his good days.
He was really good. Until he was stressed or upset. Then suddenly… he was a little scary.

From a practical angle, this comes across more reactive than planned That part stands out. Not convinced this is settled yet.
Real talk, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s what makes this interesting. Let’s see what happens next.
On the surface, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s the part people are stuck on Time will tell. At least from my perspective.
this feels like a half-step, not a full move
Looking at this, this solves one problem while creating another We’ll see how people react over time.
If you zoom out, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage That’s what makes this interesting. This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.
Bluntly speaking, this feels rushed rather than thought through which turns this into more of a debate This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s just my read on it.
there’s a gap between the message and the outcome
At first glance, the signal is clear, the strategy less so That’s the key detail here. That’s just my read on it.
