I mean, to me it sounded pretty much like what a sincere-but-no-specific-path New Age person would say? Pulling together things from a bunch of different systems in a mishmashy way is kind of how that works. I kind of assumed Pru had gone to a friend who has those beliefs for that part because it mostly just sounded authentic, to me.

But I agree with you on how it was a greatly inappropriate answer to the actual question, I think Pru got too excited about being clever about parents as evil spirits to actually read the letter or listen to LW, and that came off as callous as best even if it wasn't meant as mockery.
