Listen.
It’s not okay to have your child be scared of you. That isn’t respect. That’s control.
It’s not okay to have your child obey you at all times in order for you to love them. That isn’t high standards. That’s manipulation.
It’s not okay to force your child become what you wanted to become. That isn’t wanting the best for them. That’s living vicariously through them.
It’s not okay to take away your child’s basic needs as a punishment. That isn’t teaching them. That’s hindering them.
It’s not okay to dictate your child’s sexuality or gender. That isn’t normalizing them. That’s repressing them.
It’s not okay to berate your child’s appearance or intelligence for being what you think is sub-par. That isn’t toughening them. That’s bullying them.
It’s not okay to take out your stress on your child. That isn’t parenting. That is abusing.
It’s completely okay to distance yourself from your parents. That’s not unloving. That, sometimes, is self care.

Depression-Busting Exercise Tips For People Too Depressed To Exercise - The Establishment Oh hey look, something that ISN’T TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT :D
… Step 1. Realize that you should exercise. Step 2 ? Step 3. HEALTH!
When you’re depressed, that question mark can be a barely navigable labyrinth of garbage fires fueled by physical and mental exhaustion, self-loathing, defeat, and frustration. The last time I found myself trying to hack through that mess during a particularly dark period, I started to come up with my own list of bare-bones, practical tips to help me face the idea of moving again. Now I’m sharing them, in case they might help someone else in a similar position. I stress the word “might.” If you’re depressed, the last thing you need is another a-hole telling you what you should do. But if you’re looking for somewhere to start, I’ve been there too.
First heading? “You don’t have to exercise.” I love this entire piece. It’s going on facebook, that’s how much I love it. A+
“The perfect body is a breathing one. Anything that serves those ends is worth considering. Everything else is noise.”
“Most of these training tips and listicles read like they came from people who have faced very little adversity in their lives, and who think that their own health is entirely the product of their own hard work.”
