Yes you are right indifference is the opposite of hate Lovebird. To hate you have to care. And I'm glad you have reached indifference.
"I'm sorry your childhood wasn't perfect, but no one's is."
Thats a classic, my father would say similar "Oh, sorry, I'm not perfect, I suppose you are?" Making me sound unreasonable.
But I wasn't expecting 'perfect' I was expecting, needing, NORMAL I needed unconditional love. I was not loved. I had refrigerator 'parents'. Cold, selfish and secretly cruel.
My so called parents never knew *me*at all nor made any effort too. I was just there as someone to dump on, a scapegoat for their uselessness.

Love that kitty picture, makes me smile every time I see it. x
