Did your parents ever take a deeper interest in you and your interests outside of your needs?

    Hey I was a child of one of each!

    You can’t compare them. There’s no scale of trauma, you can’t say this was a level 6 while that’s a level 8. They’re both going to deeply effect you over the years in different ways.

    Only way I dealt with it was by starting therapy.

      My parents weren’t great, but I think they did their best given their limited resources and the context of social norms at the time.

      I too go to therapy. It doesn’t help.
