Re: What kind of parents did you have?

[(Anonymous)]

Super indifferent mom with smoking and shopping addiction; super self-centered and basically only the the bare minimum to keep the kids clothed and fed (lots of canned food, second hand clothes - even though money was absolutely *no* issue!). she got severely sick with a brain bleed when i was sixteen and my relationship with her broke then. Took me 3 years of therapy to get over that. Havent talked to her in almost 4 years.

Regular kind-of-disconnected Dad. he tried his best, most of my fun childhood memories were with him. He went on day trips with us, took us out on the weekends on long walks, playgrounds etc. (today i realize it was their way of sharing kids responsibility - he was full time working during the week, so she had most of the kids-load then, and he had kids time on the weekends then). He always wanted the best for the kids and tried to give us the (reasonable) things my mom refused us. One year my mom didn't buy us any christmas gifts because of stupid reasons he was furious how she could do that to the kids. He then went out personally with my brother and me after the holidays to pick out some things. (It was not like our wishes were unreasonable, but she decided they were)

He had an alcohol problem tho and went to rehab when i was 13. he got it under control mostly (from first beer at 6am to "occasionally a beer to dinner"), but substituted with smoking.
He was physically abusive towards my brother, but never to me.
He died 2 years ago after years of sickness, and (careful, very unpopular opinion) if i could exchange my still living mom for more time with my dad, i'd do it without hesitation).
