Your parents have taught you to:

Respect authority

Or

Question everything from authority

Now here’s the kicker

How long will you go before you get fed up and rebel against authority figures who abuse their power?

If you grew up in a wild or crazy place, you most like did one of two things.

Believed you’re a victim and are helpless. Live like a scared bitch.

Fought like a wildcat and did what you could to survive.

Those instincts never left you once you became an adult.

And if you were traumatized then you couldn’t recognize fact from fiction.

People were gaslighting you all the time about their care, when in reality it was abuse and neglect.

And this trauma spilled over into how you viewed authority figures.
