Sometimes my heart wants to resent people like you for having supportive parents, but that's coming from an hurt and irrational part of me that's valid, but not useful to listen to. I'm glad that people like you and your parents exist, and I'm glad for your comment here, because even though I'm a long way away from my parents, it's useful to be reminded that my experience was not normal and it wasn't okay. Thanks for helping remind me and hopefully others that we deserve(d) a safe family home
