[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I always felt like an afterthought, my parents had their adult lives and adult interests and they fit me into their life. For instance, we would go out to a fancy restaurant on Saturday nights because that's what they liked, or my mother cooked gourmet meals every night with spicy food because that's what they liked. I would have loved to go to a kid-friendly restaurant instead or eat grilled cheese for dinner (and as an adult I don't eat spicy food because of my childhood). I wish my childhood had been more kid-friendly but my mother would say things like, "I'm not making a whole Thanksgiving dinner for just the 3 of us," etc. It made me feel like we didn't have a real family and that I was not enough.[/quote]
