Would you rather be an orphan or have abusive and neglectful parents?
I don’t think these things are comparable and it’s not a competition, just a thought experiment

Replying to @TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world
People who are orphans generally don’t understand the experience of abusive parents.
People with abusive parents generally don’t understand the experience of being an orphan.
People with their own problems generally don’t understand the experience of other people’s situations as a mere observer, and cannot properly evaluate the two comparatively.
