Parents
"They fuck you up, your mum and dad" said Philip Larkin. Did he have a point? Perhaps yours are merely horrendously embarrassing? Or are you yourself that embarrassing or terrible parent? No tedious McCannery or nonce strikethroughs please, ffs.

Not my mum and dad
But I think most parents are fucking superheroes. When it comes to the way you look up to them as a child and when you become a parent to have your own son look at you like you are that superhero.
I understand that some people don't have the best parents in the world. No one is perfect, my parents certainly weren't perfect the shit I saw as a kid was awful at times. But when things were good they were really good, and the love that I felt as a child made me realise how safe I was and that my parents are as close as I would ever get to having my own superman and Wonder Woman. Literally willing to do anything to ensure my safety and that of my siblings.
I can now only hope to god that, minus the negatives, I will be able to provide the same for my son, despite his mother doing pretty much everything she can in every possible way to prevent that from happening.
My apologies for this being a personal post.
I could write about Doctor Fucking Who if that would be more widely accepted?

how is it abuse?
it's a word used widely across a large demographic of English speakers. This is just your misguided and misinformed snobbery showing through.

just because people use it across the globe doesn't prevent it from being abusive to the words and the ear
it's a vile abomination of a term that is right up there with "we're pregnant".

'We're pregnant' is pretty apt as pregnancy and marriage essentially turns two people into a homogenous boring unit.

NO, UNLESS YOU ARE SOME KIND OF MEDICAL MARVEL OR SIMULTANEOUSLY UPDUFFED LESBIANS/TRANSGENDER MEN, YOU ARE NOT BOTH PREGNANT.

I know what you mean
There is an awful point in life where you realize that your parents are only human and cannot fix every fault and make everything all ok.
My kids haven't reached that yet with me i think but I am dreading when they do
