[quote=Anonymous]Sort of. If the "super-involved" part seems functional. But I'm also envious of friends who have kind and loving parents, even if they aren't local and super-involved. I'm envious of anyone who comes from a functional family and has a healthy and loving relationship with their parents. I live far from my parents in part because if I were closer, they would be super-involved but in a self-involved, sometimes abusive way. I've seen it with my siblings. My parents don't know how to love and care for others while respecting them at the same time. They don't know how to help without controlling. They don't know how to ask for what they want, only how to guilt or shame people into doing it. I don't want that kind of involvement in my life.[/quote]
