"They'll Resent Me"

Future-bill mode

Overcorrect · Brace · Rewrite

You're already auditing yourself for their future therapy session.

What this archetype looks like

You worry your child will resent you later. The good part is that you care about long-term impact. The hard part is that fear can make you overcorrect and miss the child in front of you right now. What helps is repairing real moments instead of trying to control a future story.
