(50,949 posts)You are not in any position to make a judgement, so even the thought of you making a judgement about this is ridiculous. Exactly what kind of decision is it that you think is required of you?
The point is that the poster spoke of something that was emotionally difficult. You responded by dismissing and minimizing their feelings and their experience. It was extremely insensitive.
And just so you know, your responses were FULL of judgements. You judged that you were certain that what the poster described as abuse was actually love. That's a pretty whopping judgement.
You judged that it was appropriate for you to tell the poster what emotions to feel about their parent when you know nothing about the poster, their parents, or the situation. That is the HEIGHT of judgement.
So if you are going to say you can't make a judgement, then stop making judgements.
