This is an interesting read. There was something you said that caught my attention, which is.
Everyone can possibly become a father or a mother but not everyone can become a parent. The fact that a person brought a child to this world doesn't make them parent. It is the responsibility of caring for that child that makes them parent.
Also, as you said, there is a tiny line between being protective and overprotective. I hope people can understand this and give their children the space and love they need so children can be free with their parents.
Nicely written. @offia66
