Break free from the curse of "family"! The author was an abused child herself. While dealing with her own indelible trauma, she recalls the past and present cases of friends and acquaintances who have also suffered abuse. Physical violence, sexual abuse, neglect, lack of sympathy for mental illnesses and disabilities, and disregard for personal dignity... Children find themselves stuck in painful situations, as their uncomfortable feelings are suppressed just "because it's family." What kind of lives will these children lead when they grow up? To protect yourself, to survive, it's okay to try to escape. That is the message that underlies this story. A comic essay that looks at the reality of toxic parents and casts aspersions on the idea of family.
A realistic and useful record of escapes by toxic parent survivors who abandoned their parents! By abandoning their parents, they were able to get their lives back. Manga artist Ozoe Tsubaki, who also abandoned her toxic parents, interviews toxic parent survivors. How did they abandon them, and what did they gain from doing so? A comic essay on "how to abandon" toxic parents!
