[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve become more acutely aware of how selfish and neglectful one of my parents was. [/quote] Similar, but becoming a parent has made me realized that yes, my father was abusive and that my mother did nothing about it. Having my first child made me come to terms with how f*cked up my parents were.[/quote] Me too, in some ways. I think I now appreciate BOTH how hard it was for my parents AND how much they were kind of f*cked up. My mother lives near us and my kids see her all the time and it in some ways it is kind of validating to see that they are bothered by the exact same behaviors that bothered me as a child. Made me realize: no, I wasn't just an ungrateful brat, she really IS very difficult. [/quote]
