    The relationship is that of a child to a parent.

    If a parent constantly tests and judges you, that’s still toxic. Especially when they already know the outcome. Doubly especially when failing the test means not just a spanking but literal eternal torture.

      I don’t disagree. But, it’s not like trying to help someone leave a toxic relationship. It’s more like needing to take a child away from an abusive parent. But that abusive parent is inside their head.
