## Caption

These 5 phrases sound like parenting.
But they echo like rejection.

1.	“Because I said so.”
Obedience without understanding breeds fear, not respect.

2.	“Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about.”
Emotions are not threats. They’re signals. Let them feel — and then guide them.

3.	“I do everything for you.”
That’s not love. That’s a transaction. They don’t owe you childhood.

4.	“You’re just like your mom/dad.”
You’re not naming a trait. You’re assigning a wound.

5.	“Don’t talk back.”
You’re not teaching respect. You’re silencing voice and self-worth.

Words shape identity.
Choose them like they matter — because they do.
