They’re good loving parents but also support stripping rights from gay or trans people. Severe lack of empathy has made me go no contact. What set me over the edge was my dad saying he’s worried about the future and wants the best for me. Never asked me once abt what my concerns are. They’re also climate change deniers :/

I didn’t speak to either of them, both horrible cruel people. Much happier without them in my life

Complicated. I am neurodivergent and they didn’t know how to deal with that. A lot of mistakes were made based on piss poor information that left me somewhat scarred. I think the best description for my relationship with them during my later childhood would be “professional”. I didn’t talk about who I was or what I felt, I got home from school, went to my room, came out for dinner to be asked meaningless questions, and then went to bed. It was not bad in that I was suffering but it did mean that I will forever struggle to emotionally connect with them. I’ve been in college for a few years now and they seem to want a relationship now that I am gone but I find it so hard to respond to their texts. I never call them and they rarely call me. Mostly I just text them every month so that they know I am alive

Fortunately very good. I just spent a couple enjoyable weeks with them.

What relationship (:
