mum was a violent narcissistic alcoholic leaving me with crippling CPTSD, abused and used me for most of my life… the list goes on. dads drinking currently isn't normal.
some people should not have been parents.
anyone else in the same boat?
I think so as well... People who have clear mental issues, trauma or are addicts should not be parents. An exception is poor people, because being poor doesn't necessarily mean that you will be a bad parent. Kids need A LOT of attention and guidance, so mental issues/trauma fundamentally don't allow you to properly take care of a young human being, unless you are lucky and somehow the kid turns out fine...
My dad is really smart, but was and still is ridden with mental issues. His fucked up dad abandoned him, so he was left on his own with mom. Clear anxiety problems and severe depression for which he was prescribed strong SSRI's. Was an alcoholic my entire teenage years (gave it up a few years ago, because cops caught him being hammered in a car). Was checking out a few pictures months ago and he looked like a puffer fish, his entire face swollen and an insanely large stomach. My father is an overall good guy, but completely mentally broken and objectively unfit to be a father.
Considering the amount he had to deal with, he is super strong, but I hate that he put me into this world and didn't help me when I clearly needed it. I feel like to this day none of my parents even know why I turned out the way that I did when the answer is starring them in the face. Also, having me at 18 probably didn't help either lmao...
Congrats on being the first to post after that long sasu blackout
