Hurt.

Why do parents always speak without sparing a thought for their children? Perhaps, perhaps I'm just making a very nonsensical generalisation here. Because all it takes is two parents to do that and there, a child is hurt. Whether or not she has become an adult, she is still traumatized by the contents she heard when she was still a little girl. People say, children have bad memory, they forget almost everything that has happened. That is so untrue. For there is always this girl who recalls almost every little detail about her childhood. She may seem like the most outgoing girl who shares with her friends all the things happening in her life. Yet there are always the deepest, darkest secrets that she never has the courage to reveal. Then again, so what if she can muster the courage to do so? When the hurt is done, it can no longer be undone, unfortunately. She just wants to leave, for there is nothing worth hanging on to. Moral of the day? Parents should never bring up issues that might traumatize their kids in front of them. If that is mission impossible, then don't have kids. A bad childhood haunts them for life.
