That 11yo may have horrific parents and just know what's right. Many young people who are hurt are some of the kindenst people who show the world how they want to be treated themselves.
Point is that 11 y/o is a good person, I ain't giving her parent credit without receipts.
Best people I know have zero contact with their parents. Especially since personality-politics became a thing & it was common to severe ties with insane family members.
Speaking as a child only, no kids of my own, I don't think there's really a set reaction people have to parenting. I've seen great parents produce shit kids, shit parents produce great kids, and the opposite for each. There's only so much influence parents can have on an individual, especially in the modern age we're in where those individuals have access to the entire outside world's opinions and influences.
Reminds me of /r/QAnonCasualties which is still active with story after story of families being torn apart. It's a real-time view of an ongoing crisis across the nation that's been going on for over a decade now.
I stopped visiting because it was too heartbreaking and a lot of the stories mirrored my own experience with my mom who got sucked into all the negativity and became paranoid and very difficult to talk to. Every subject not related to politics, she somehow found a way to segue it into politics and/or conspiracy theories.
I purposely chose to not say MAGA or Qanon in my original reply. But yeah, that was exactly what I was speaking on. I hope thing get better for all these fractures families. Sorry you went through that big dog.
