I think every potential parent should be required to go through familial counseling before having children tbh. The reason why I want to have a career in family therapy is because Adults hold on to so much trauma, and even sometimes forget that they're humans who are fallible. Those things can have such an impact on the life of a child tbh
@TuhRxxk (this is a basic-ass analysis but it holds up tbh:) most ppl get most of their issues in childhood and spend the next 60-70 yrs getting over them, family therapy is incredibly valuable as a way of actually changing the world
