My mother is literally worse than my father, but of course movies and tv shows love their cliches and never show reality for what it is.

Also wtf is the “Abused child forgive abusive parent and reunite happily ever after” trope, fuck that shit. Abusers do not deserve forgiveness.

I hate writer jesus christ ffs.

    Idk disney kinda does this sometimes but usally with adoptive/step mothers. I get it though, its much less common and even the ways abusive mothers and fathers are portrayed is heavily influenced by our cultural understanding of gender.
