My childhood, having two parents who were still messed up from their own childhoods and had no idea how to be good, healthy parents.

I go through cycles where I work hard on dealing with it, and believe I finally HAVE gotten over it, and then sooner or later something comes up and I get really angry or depressed for months.

Over the weekend I watched a bunch of Buzzfeed-type videos which asked women of every age from 5-50 to say whatever came into their heads when they heard the word "mother". EVERY ONE BUT ONE said lovely things like, "My rock," "my biggest supporter," "unconditional love," etc. The one woman who differed said something like, "Our relationship is...frustrating," in a tone of voice that implied her mom might have been "difficult" like mine. I wish she had gotten the chance to elaborate, or that other people with abusive or absent or unhealthy mothers had been asked to contribute, too.

As it was, the video made me cry for a long time, and not because I was touched by how heart-warming it was supposed to be.

I understand. Sometimes it seems like a lot of people win the parent lottery, but in reality, parents come in all different flavors, with varying degrees of function (or dysfunction). It really sucks when there's this societal expectation that your family is supposed to be this awesome unit regardless of history, and if you're not being the good little child and showering praise whenever you're asked about your family, then obviously something must be wrong with you.

yeah there are certainly times when i need to describe the relationship between me and my dad as "complicated"
