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

Hey, just wanted to say congrats for making it out -- it must have taken a lot of emotional sacrifice, self-awareness, and sheer force of will to overcome it all

It's given me a lot of perspective with my own parents, and I guess I should count my blessings to some degree.

Did your sister make it out okay too?
