> I'm sorry for your pain. It sounds like you've come to terms with a lot of it. I hope I can some day. What we want and need from our parents is so very complicated, isn't it? It reminds me of how much responsibility I have to my own children.
Thank you Daisy. I have come to terms with it, I hope you can too. I know carrying it with you every day is painful. You have to do what's best for you, and not worry about your parents. Give yourself permission to live your life and not feel beholden to them. I didn't get over that part until my husband and I moved away. But, I know it's easier said than done. Don't you wish there were things you could just "turn off"? I agree, the best gift we can give to our kids is great mental health.

He wouldn't tell you that if he didn't mean it. Some people are just better at it than others, more laid back, less likely to internalize.
