I feel fortunate every day that I had loving parents. I remember how fucked up some of my friends' parents were, and I hear horror stories every day about my wife's (mostly her mother). I've seen her weep over how she always had to walk on eggshells around a mom who never said she loved her, and never had a single kind word to say about her or anyone else, but then turn around and do everything in her power to make sure that our daughter (5) does not have that same experience. She doesn't pay that trauma forward, and I respect it. So many parents for so many generations just paid that shit forward.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
