“But if your parents pay the bills, they run the house. The emphasis is less on raising someone who can take care of themselves and more on following the ideas that have been passed down to you. And then suddenly, you're 18, you become a baby adult who is so angry and doesn't know how to self-soothe. You only know how to soothe your parents' nervous system.”
― Jonathan Van Ness, Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love
