I’ve noticed even with parents to children now there is no hope for them. I’m someone who grew up in poverty, and I expect nothing from my parents at all (they have nothing). However, even affluent parents are leaving less to their kids now. Which, I’m actually okay with individually (I worked hard, I’m not going to give you a free ride and spoil you).
What makes me sad is when I see parents holding inheritance as ransom over their children. If you want to live a different life than they approve? Inheritance revoked. You want a different major than they approve of, or don’t have the same political views? No inheritance. Only had 1 grandchild instead of 3? No inheritance.
That’s such selfish weird behavior in my book. It’s not “I earned this, I want to use it for my retirement”, it’s not “I don’t want to spoil you” or to give it to charity, so I don’t want to give that impression. It’s the “I want to dangle the ladder in front of you before pulling it up”. I don’t know if I’m describing my feelings well but it bothers me a lot, and I think it’s 1000% selfish

Yes, mist humans are MONSTERS, total monsters. There’s no reason to expect anything good of them, to depend on them, to trust them.
Start working on getting away from their control, and making the little positive difference you can.
But it won’t come from humans.
Go to therapy.
Even suggesting that I didn’t, is an insult.
Go to more and stop using your trauma as an excuse to advocate for misanthropy.
Look at the world stage, I will stop being a misanthrope when they earn it.
