- Learning to think for yourself? Have your own beliefs? Check.
- Take advantage of your first amendment rights. Check.

If I put myself in dad’s shoes, and I think: My house, my rules. You’re on your own now kid.

The strict-father model of parenting is so toxic that it not only perpetuates itself from generation to generation within a family but also poisons society as a whole.
