There’s many who’ve had far worse parents.

I am truly grateful for mine.
There are no perfect parents.
I used to blame them for my own shortcomings, but it’s water under the bridge now.

I think my mother used alcohol to self medicate. I’ve used it to ‘crash out’ from intense, negative thoughts. For me it never became a daily thing. My father has never been a touchy feely person. I think that’s typical of many men from his generation. I used to blame him for the bullying I received at boarding school, but those boys who did so didn’t have to. He wasn’t responsible for their behaviour.
