how's your relationship with your parents?
| Sad.
| It's good. My mother is depressed and locked into her body(MS) and can only move her face. I call her at least every other week and talk to her and to cheer her up. It's not easy when you're depressed yourself but she's family and I love her. She is without a doubt one of the strongest people I've ever met.
My father died of cancer when the MS started to develop.
Sorry for the bummer post but it is what it is.

Mine's alright I guess. Used to be pretty toxic when I was younger, back when they (mom) used to get on my case all the time for everything.
At this point they've mostly accepted that I'm too old to be bossed around. I don't mind being nagged to help out around the house, it's the little things that were just pointless toxicity which have mostly stopped. At the same time, I feel like their relationship with each other is straining, especially because of this covid bullshit.
| We dont talk anymore since quarantine and mind you, i live with them.
| It's sort of good, sort of not. They're good people, mostly. They're very accepting and stuff like that, but they also have a hard time being understanding and respecting the boundaries I need to have. Sometimes my mom will do or say something that should be normal, but that I'm not mentally able to take, so I start biting myself like crazy as soon as she leaves the room. I do believe she genuinely tries her best to be a good parent to a mentally fucked, weird cunt like me though.
| My dad doesn't really do a lot. He lets me borrow his scooter, and he works and makes some food. He gets upset occasionally, and maybe we talk for a bit, on which is a lot less common than him getting mad and complaining. I mostly understand where he's coming from though, even though he should behave better, but, yeah. I'm not very close with him. Not really with my mom either. You didn't ask, but I'm distant to my sister as well, which I hate, because I want to be a good brother.
| >>663031 i work at night in my country so we barely talk. And im drowned with work so i couldnt talk with them. It was better when i was at the office. We'd have dinner/breakfast together when i get home or before i leave.
| I often wish I wasn't born at all. Dad's dead (always was) and my stepdad is even worse with his head than my mum. He's needy and when you do listen to him talk bout something it takes ages cause he stops at every word to ask if you're listening and will keep doing it until you confirm. They both are unable to learn anything and are crippled by inability to use computers of any sort. Controlling and don't understand personal space as a concept. I just wanna live alone ffs.
| Also he usually repeats things few dozen times, believing he's not understood or listened to.
