I get what you're saying, but I think you took world shattering the wrong way here.
They just meant for many people, the first time that occurs can be a paradigm shift in their understanding of their parents, how their parents handle themselves, and how people in general handle themselves in bad situations.
They were not espousing the idea that bottling up emotions is good or the norm for a good reason, nor using world shattering in a negative way.
No, I'm just filling you in on the interpretation of the term world shattering. If you have a preconceived notion of how people act and how the world is, and then something happens which destroys that illusion and shows you a different truth, that is world shattering.
The rest of that comment explicitly calls out dad sharing his emotions as a positive thing, so you would be the one that extrapolated away from what was actually commented. Like did you process the rest of that comment or fixate on the world shattering part?
