    The real psychological pain comes from the realisation that your parent never really cared about your boundaries.
    They’ll even give your ITR account OTP to someone who will block you out from it and it will be your fault for trusting them with it, but I guess this example is too irrelevant.

    The teenage years are around the time when children start evaluating their own actions and start having their own personality (which is kinda related to the rebellious stage). They realise the power dynamic between them and their parent which they were until then not conscious about.
    It is the parents’ actions during this time that determines what their evaluation of the past power dynamic will be and so will be their decision of what relationship they will have with their parents once they are financially independent.

    So, whether or not the experience is traumatic, your future relationship with your child depends upon how much they care about who sees their pictures.
