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...

Hey,
what has happened lately to have changed the connection between you and your Therapist?
I understand that you talk about the problems you have had with your parents in therapy because thats what bothers you, it's not nesscarily that there aren't good things also. You say you were 1-3 years when you lived with both parents as a child. At that age your memories aren't as complex as an adults, not to say they arent acurate - as they most likely are as children do absorb a lot - but you wouldnt have been fully aware of your parents interactions or how good they were as parents generally, just about how they were with you and how you felt, so you very well could feel they were good parents then, which may be correct or may not fully encompase the full situation either, its hard to know but I think if you feel they were then go with that
May i ask if you still live with your parents?
