re: #28 Sharmuta

I think that for some parents, the best thing they can do for their kids is say,

“I’m sorry I’m a hypocritical scumbag. I have no moral character at all, and I’m probably lying if I ever claim I’ve changed. Never lend me any money or take my advice. And remember: You are not me. My flaws are my own, not yours, and you don’t inherit them. I’m sorry I failed you.”

And then get the fuck out of their lives. Because they’ll never change.
