This sort of rationalization is a common and totally understandable coping mechanism.
I'm telling you, there's no justification for hitting a kid. There is nothing to be learned from it.
The cognitive dissonance of believing your parents love you while knowing they mistreated you is ****ing hard to deal with.
The thing is, they probably did love you. But that doesn't mean they didn't mistreat you. Being able to acknowledge that fact is when the real personal growth begins. But it's a tough ****ing process.
I really hope Tyreek's kid gets set up with a great therapist who knows how to handle early childhood trauma. He's going to need it.
