Parents you can tell anything to and be heard without judgement, or a list of all your failings in life.
Parents you’re not afraid to tell that you tried for something, just in case you fail and it will be used against you for the rest of your life?
Just to clarify, I love my parents and know they love me back, but 10 minutes is literally the limit of co-existence
I used to. Once my dad died my family pretty much unraveled and they’re all reactionary morons nowadays. It was a huge shock seeing how the patriarchy truly operates in america. Like my mom and two brothers became emotionally 10 years old once he was gone. That was seven years ago and our current relationship is so foreign from my upbringing.
It’s funny you mention that. My siblings and I were pretty close growing up, even well into our late 20s. As we hit our 30s, it all kind of fractured apart. We still function, but we all also have very different independent lives now. It’s a bit different
My bros are 6 and 9 years older so I was essentially an only child. We didn’t become close till I was a young adult and started smoking weed. It was a cool 10 year run.
