For me its when my family flew in for my graduation and they also decided to meet my sister’s in-laws. After graduation we were supposed to go to a restaurant. The ceremony was supposed to last two hours but stretched to four and we were about to miss our reservation. My sister pressured me to leave even tho I didnt have a chance to take pictures with friends and such. I have mostly moved on but honestly a part of me still hates her for it.

    Parents never doing shit for me mentally and just providing housing and food. So many signs I was autistic and depressed since I was a child yet the only responses to those symptoms were just physical fights, locking me out the house, and calling me useless and a complete waste of life all the time. They’ve always ignored doctors and coped that I was “perfect” and “special/unique because I was too smart” and dumb shit like that

    But the thing I’m really bitter about now is how they just pretend like everything is okay now. They stopped the hitting and yelling once I was old enough to harm them during the fights and they act like they’ve always been good parents cause I did the whole good school -> successful career thing so obviously it was cause they raised me well right?

    I’d cut them off but I kinda want the house. It’s small and it took them their entire lives to pay off but it’s worth like half a mill now so shrug-outta-hecks

      I feel ya. Trying to forgive is always the best with family cuz you only get one. Good luck on working to have a different/better relationship with them as an adult.
