Or a horrible middle ground where they did stuff to traumatize u but u know they didn't mean it and were trying their best. So u resent them but also love them at the same time. Fml

Yea I realize in hindsight my parents just had no idea what they were doing let alone how to raise 2 kids and all the weird trauma and mental wounds I have will never really be understood by them because they don't really understand themselves. Hell they still think I'm a faithful Christian boy that loves their job and doesn't need much attention because my sister is struggling and if I told them the truth of how they fucked me up and how I'm really not doing great it would just set off a chain of sadness for everyone involved. Easier to bottle that shit up, never really be honest, and wait for them to die or bring up my childhood without me pushing the issue (which will never happen). It's sad but I know it's just part of growing up and being an adult and smiling through the pain until you're numb to it.
