Parents

[sigiriuk]

I loved my parents so much, even though I knew they were mean to me.
I still don't know why. I wanted them to be proud of me.
I don't love them today, and am estranged from them.
But I remember when i used to love them, and it hurts. I loved my Dad, but he was so cruel. And my Mum, she was so weird.
And I don't know what to do...
Any advice, to comments?

I can't think of anything useful to say.

But I hear you. Young you was right in loving them, what and how they were wasn't up to you, you did your best slim.

The current you is right to be estranged from them too, its on them not on you.

I love your honesty, Rainagain, it was just wht I needed to hear: your courage to be honest and vulnerable.
And that's what comforts me.
