Is It Okay to Dislike Your Parents? A Brutally Honest Talk on Toxic Parenting in India

In this bold and honest video, Vijender Sir opens up a sensitive but urgent conversation:
👉 What happens when your biggest emotional battles are with your own parents?

For many Indian youth, emotional manipulation, guilt-tripping, constant comparison, and chronic criticism are normalized in family dynamics. We’re taught that disliking parents is “unnatural”—but what if it’s more common than we admit?

In this episode, we explore:
• What toxic parenting really looks like in the Indian context
• Why emotional boundaries matter—even within families
• The difference between guidance and control
• The cultural conditioning that glorifies suffering in the name of “respect”
• Practical ways to protect your mental health while navigating strained relationships

🧠 This isn’t just a rant. It’s a call for emotional maturity—for both children and parents.

🎥 Watch, reflect, and share your perspective in the comments. Let’s bring the unspoken truth into open dialogue.
