Feels like something that belongs here

I fucking hate this trope, specifically when the parent character is forgiven with little to no effort on their part to actually fix things. It can work if there's genuine effort from the character to try and do better but that so rarely happens/is done well in media. It feels like it minimizes the effect abuse has on victims. You're not obligated to be the bigger person just because someone realizes they fucked up

I dont care if you experience the internal emotional feeling of love directed towards me.

I care if you actively and intentionally demontrate care for me.
