Even with the clarity of hindsight as an adult, I can still see that a lot of the adults in my life when I was growing up were simply assholes who abused their position of "authority" as adults to bully children.
(I've come to realize as an adult that SOME experiences I resented as a child happened because I had adults who honestly weren't trying to be nasty and truly cared that I learned something valuable.)
But imagine that being the pinnacle of your adult life: setting yourself up so you can be a child's bully. That's the most they'll ever be or accomplish.
So glad we went down a different road and didn't let it turn us into them.
