Thanks dizgirl. No not at all. Just lately. I usually don't have too much good to say about my parents... because, well, I suppose that's what therapy is for. They're not bad people. They have just had their own problems to deal with in life, so mistakes were made. They never really dealt with their issues. Instead they both drink a lot each night to numb out. Still, as long as I have been alive.
I do think they were better at being parents back then. Why? Idk. Maybe it was new to them and they weren't jaded yet...
