It explains the narcissism of both parents. The unreasoning fear and paranoia of my father. The undue strict code of behavior. The "dangerous" playground equipment. The hypocrisy of my father being chill with me wandering around Europe alone with jeans and a backpack for 3+ months, but when I was visiting friends in another state (less than two months after I returned from Europe) and I didn't call to say that I would be "home" 12 hours later than I expected, I got royally reamed out (at age 22-1/2).

It's a very common type of AI slop now, unfortunately. See my other reply here. highplainsdem Jan 20 #17
