idk if “gentle” is the right term, I was thinking “温柔” and its the best translation I guess
Feel free to share anecdotes, or scientific studies if you have any.
So my mom was kinda like half and half… I feel like I absored half of the “gentleness” and half of the rage…
Dad was kinda just neutral… like stoic as hell except a few times of getting mad…
That is… Quite the story, and nobody should have to live through that shit as a child (hell, even as an adult, but as a child?)
It makes me happy to see that you ended up with something that requires so much restraint and gentleness, you sound quite awesome!
