Such superficial relationships with my own parents when I can't share the bad times with them, only the good.. I know it's due to their own issues, but it kind of feels like they're using me, always expecting me to be in a good mood even if I'm not and take care of their feelings.. It sucks

Just needed to share..
Sorry and I can very much relate , both my parents are completely emotionally unavailable and our relationship is very superficial. It sucks. My dad is also abusive and unkind

My t says that it is ok to limit my contact with them and they won't change and can't let it upset me all the time.
