Pakistani actress and host Farah Sadia has spoken about what she described as a growing tendency to hold parents responsible for childhood trauma and problems encountered later in life.
In a video shared on social media, Farah said blaming parents for every difficulty had increasingly become a trend, arguing that parents are not always responsible for the challenges their children face.
She said that continuously placing the blame on parents instead of taking responsibility for one’s own mistakes could contribute to self-centered behavior.
Farah also acknowledged that parents can experience mental health challenges and that, in some cases, their behavior may negatively affect their children.
Her comments prompted mixed reactions on social media. Some users agreed with her view that individuals should take responsibility for their own actions, while others argued that harmful parental behavior and its impact on children should not be dismissed.
Farah’s remarks have sparked a broader discussion online about childhood experiences, parental responsibility and the extent to which individuals should examine both family circumstances and their own choices when addressing difficulties in adulthood.
