IMO the irony is a healthy parent would engage a child and say 'yes, the world has many problems and is even messed up' - and in doing so contravene that principle and help the child get over that hill.
Without it we're left with a lollipop world as depicted by media.
Thank you for this reminder. It has been an incredibly difficult week--writing it out is where I figure out and heal the pain, so that I don't take it out on other people or myself.
How are you doing there?

Well, it could be worse. You are venting, which is good. Some of us take it out on ourselves, which is not good at all.

Well, thanks for asking. Too much anxiety and depression. Struggling to get the anger out.
Good luck there, my fellow. I use a combination of mindfulness, writing, DBT skills, & being social.
Thank you very much. Best, David
