My parents were good people, but lousy parents. My mother has been gone eight years now, and I still can't get her out of my head.
I'm so glad you got things worked out on your own.

Thanks for your support.
I used to think that my parents were good people/bad parents as well. And I guess I still believe that more or less, but I'm getting sicker and sicker of havying to deal with their anxiety and obsessions as I progress into adulthood, and I feel that they at least owe it to me to keep such things in check when I'm in a time of severe crisis.
It's odd, becuase I feel like I'm making daily progress with my anxiety/OCD/depression issues, while I feel that they've barely changed since I was a kid. And, you know, I shouldn't be living my adult life to babysit their chidish behaviour.
