I think I am different from a lot of people on here in regard to my childhood experiences. My parents definitely failed me in many respects, but (apparently) a lot of the animosity I feel is just me needing to resolve my own issues. Apparently, I've just perceived a lot of things incorrectly. I've built a lot of unhealthy patterns to deal with my childhood.
Sometimes I think this might be worse than actually having parents that were abusive versus me living in an unhealthy, chaotic environment. Idk. It's like...yeah...things sucked.....but I clearly overreacted to everything.
