Is there a scenario where you would be willing to interpret such a parent’s pacifism as naivety?

There are many extremely complex issues that do not have obviously right or wrong answers.

Being bad at something is not the same as being a bad person.

How would you describe the difference between a parent who actively abuses their kids and a parent who loves and provides for their kids, but fails in some area along the way?

You’ve gone right back to a binary stance here.



When the parent is externalizing the cost of their pacifism onto their child, they are engaging in moral failure.
