[quote=Anonymous]As someone who's BTDT, OP, I would encourage you to leave room for forgiveness. My parents were absent and belittling, but they've made an effort to improve our relationship in recent years. I try to focus on some of the (few) things they did do right--clean and comfortable home, clean clothes, basic home-cooked dinners, college tuition. They were not there for me emotionally, but it could have been a lot worse. And I don't want to carry that burden anymore. It's far better for my mental health to have peace rather than dwell on mistakes that are in the past even if they'll never be the kind of devoted parents I wish I had.[/quote]
