My mother is very narcissistic and controlling, selfish to the core and was abusive emotionally and on a couple of occasions sexually.
My dad was and is cold, though I know he loves me, just cant show it, he was aggressive and angry a lot.
It has made me anxious, self conscious, feeling unworthy of love, distrusting and many other negative traits.
I am learning now however, that it is their problem, I did nothing wrong, I am very very slowly begining to find myself, be a bit more assertive and less guilty about everything. Slow process, but feel a big change this week out of nowhere

but hey, we cannot change what our parents have done, we just have to make a better job of it ourselves and realise we are as good as the next person.....
wow, was that me talking?
sorry if I went on a bit hehe
