That's great to hear. I have struggled with poor parental relations myself, though they have improved after they've accepted some of my personal boundaries.
Tbh it's true that there are/were scolding social justice oriented people who were what the term originally referred to before it got taken up by the right wing, the current bête noire of critical race theory is like an order of magnitude more removed from reality.
You know what? As a kiddo in Finland, my family (and our immediate neighbors) were one of the few to see Cartoon Network at all so I have childhood nostalgia not generally shared with my fellow countrypeeps. After CN stopped airing (and we children should have been in bed), the channel occasionally aired sumo wrestling which was so cool. Everything's better when it's bigger.
