I'll start: about 75% of the time, when I tell people that my mother threw me out and excommunicated me, I get a lot of "Oh, that's horrible!"/"That must suck!" But really? It's the best thing that ever happened to me. She was the major source of my depression, and without her having done what she did, I might have never met my current (really awesome) partner.

I'm just so happy I don't have to deal with her anymore. (And most people tend to understand my stance on this once I mention that she once told me she wished I'd been abducted by aliens.)

I'm kinda like that about both of my parents being dead. Obviously there is some serious emotional downside to this, but I see so many people in their 20s having this weird emotional tug-of-war where their parents don't want them to grow up, or where they aren't growing up because they're still content to rely on their parents either practically or emotionally. I missed so much drama and I don't have to rely on anyone. I've also had more chance to come to terms with mortality than most people my age.

/obvious anon, as I don't know of any other orphans on FS? I'm sure there's some out there.

Despite being financially dependent on my mom, I get you on being not-entirely-devastated about dead parents, because when my dad died my first reaction was a big grin and a 'finally.' I will be devastated when my mom dies, though, since she's pretty much the only other person who lived through and understands the horror that was a nuclear family that included my dad.

ayrt

yeah, I miss one of them but not the other one, and it's the one I miss that's been dead far longer. At this point, it's like, I've BEEN devastated, I got through it, nothing else is ever going to be that shitty ever again so come at me! etc.

I'm sorry for what you went through. Hell is too good for some parents.
