I was so happy as a kid. [I Know A Narcissist]

I spent all my time with my family and everything seemed perfect. I was normal, not stained with depression or pain. I loved my mom and dad without caution.

Now I'm an adult and I realize all the things they did wrong to me. I'm scarred and unhappy. Our relationship is estranged. I know that they all (with the exception of one) miss the "old me". I do, too. But I don't know if it will ever be the same again. My parents will pass away, still missing the "me" I once was. They'll never get him back.

Part of growing up is seeing your parents as the flawed people that they are. It’s very sad sometimes. Are there some purely good memories that you can hang onto?

Life changes. You’ll change. There may come a time that you feel some kind of deeper understanding of your parents. Maybe some day you can forgive them for your own sake. Or at least love them from a distance with healthy boundaries.

@SinlessOnslaught It looks like you’ve already taken a first step by acknowledging that they did the best they could. You are a compassionate person. I hope you can find some peace sooner rather than later🤗

@BluntSm0ker I made a post that made me vulnerable and you said something I didn't understand. I thought you were making fun of me. I get a paranoid. I'm sorry.

@SinlessOnslaught too bad, but okay.

@Human1000 Why do you ask?

@SinlessOnslaught How could I not be curious about the source of your estrangement with your mother and father?
