Yeah, this is one of the things that really does get me steaming. I don't want anyone to have the experiences I did as a kid, whether that's the emotional abuse of one parent, the neglect of the other, the steaming pile of religious guilt shoved on me, and the relentless unhappiness that pervaded my teenage years. People denying the illness aspect of it, merely dismissing it as a phase, and pushing the philosophy that kids don't need help and treatment (which also leads to isolation in the already fucked up social world the child is now finding themself in) are cruel.
