[quote=Anonymous]My parents would say they were solidly B+-A range. My mom would be right about that. She wasn't perfect, of course, but she genuinely cared and we could always count on her and she was endlessly patient and calm and kind. My dad was more like a C-D parent. He is in denial that he has an anger problem and a substance abuse problem and would never admit it but he was incredibly emotionally and verbally abusive to us as kids, calling us names, cursing at us, not apologizing, being overly critical and judgmental and domineering, he didn't listen to us, etc. But in his mind, he sacrificed so much of his personal life to have kids and he was always "there for us" (at least in a physical sense, that is true) and he made sure we had family dinner every night and read us bedtime stories when we were little. So therefore he was a great parent. /s[/quote]
