Different poster here. Yeah, I think people who have loving, flexible and emotionally mature parents have no idea what some of us faced out whole lives. Every gentle, loving convo I tried to have resulted in verbal daggers thrown one after another. The parent also financially rewarded useless sibling who plays into the insanity while still expecting me to hop to for every emergency. Some people really need to count their blessings and understand they will never fully comprehend the horror show some of us face with extremely challenging and likely personality disordered parents.
