Sorry for cutting in here again, but ...

People can still be loving parents and still be terrible to their children. It's actually a very common pattern in most abusers; they're nice most of the time but can still switch to abusive behaviors and back again. My grandparents, the worst parents I have ever seen, will utterly confused if they were ever accused of bad parenting.

I can't judge if your parents are abusive to you, OP, that's your call. But even if you think they're not, being nice does not excuse the times that they've hurt you, and it seems like they've been hurting you a lot. That's not acceptable no matter how nice they've been otherwise and how well-meaning they're trying to be. A relationship with someone is not a give-or-take game where one nice action automatically counteracts a cruel one. So don't feel bad because you're not able to do that.

And similarly, one bad action does not automatically negate a host of good ones, although you are certainly speaking as if it did. By your assessment, no one would escape being an ~abuser unless they were always said and did exactly the right thing for the moment, never lost their temper, and excused an infinite amount of less than stellar behavior by the other party. Let's just say that people who love each other can hurt each other and leave it at that.
