I recently met a girl who made me understand the cruel reality of domestic violence more deeply. This 25-year-old girl from Tianjin has been living in the shadow of her parents since childhood. Their constant quarrels, infidelity, and emotional abuse have left her feeling helpless and desperate.
But what's even more heartbreaking is that her parents use PUA (emotional manipulation) to pressure her, telling her that if it weren't for her, they wouldn't fight. This despicable behavior makes me feel angry and disgusted. Parents who not only fail to provide the necessary love and support but also inflict emotional abuse on their children are simply nauseating.
After talking to her, my emotions became complicated. Many parents ignore their children's feelings and needs, and many families face new problems due to divorce and reorganization. But parents who claim to love their children yet inflict domestic violence and economic exploitation are truly speechless.
I don't know how to comfort this girl; I can only listen to her and accompany her in facing these painful memories. As an outsider, I cannot change her past experiences, but I hope she knows she is not alone. Many people like her are trying to break free from their parents' shadow and find their own happiness.
