idk if “gentle” is the right term, I was thinking “温柔” and its the best translation I guess
Feel free to share anecdotes, or scientific studies if you have any.
So my mom was kinda like half and half… I feel like I absored half of the “gentleness” and half of the rage…
Dad was kinda just neutral… like stoic as hell except a few times of getting mad…
I think it’s worth making this clear:
If a child feels loved and cared for then they’ll likely grow up well adjusted.
If the parents say they gave their child a loving and caring upbringing but the child disagrees, then I think that suggests something wasn’t quite right.
