That is true. I think they are being thrown into a bit of a realm that they have no idea what's going on. It is, admittedly, one of the reasons I sometimes feel like the "bad daughter". I feel alienated from them, they feel alienated from me...it's kind of a mess.
It has gotten better (I at least had a good conversation with my dad about feeling different from people), but yeah, it's a mess. I think one of the worst parts about it is that the memories I do have aren't even complete. So the best I can do is deal with the stuff I know for certain. It sucks, honestly, but I guess it's the best I can do.
