My parents visited and I spent a few hours talking about the emotional and relationship problems I have today that trace back to the lack of socialization, narrow emotional range, and codependent behavior I was faced with growing up.
They agreed that these things were harmful, they see how it affected me and they wish they’d done things differently, and they’re dealing with many of the same issues because it wasn’t healthy for them either and they’re glad I’m figuring it out 25 years faster.
@Kistaro I continue to be impressed with your parents' ability to own their mistakes.
