As I've gotten older, I've come to the realization that not all adults are proper minded, some, a great deal, are absolutely tapped.
It bothers me greatly and scares me. Growing up, children tend to see adults as "all knowing, having their shit together, experienced, smarter". But that's not the case. I'm starting to see some of the elders (mostly non-relatives, my family is great) in my life as what they truly are, unhinged dumb-asses with a plethora of issues. 12 year old me would be shocked to know that having a stable 9-5, a family, etc doesn't not necessary equal to a well-adjusted, normal individual.
