All of the self help material and psychology that I'm reading

they all agree that when you're healed, the relationships with your parents will heal. I just had a call with my dad but it felt like there has been no progress whatsoever. He began shouting at me out of nowhere but since I'm far from that, it sounded really awkward. I was intending to tell him about the martial arts competition but I didn't say anything.
I wouldn't like to risk any comment that would spoil my achievement, as his regulars.
I was hoping for something better.
I guess, let's move on 🌷

Tbh, it wasn't that long ago that the younger generations feared the older ones. Parents didn't love their kids, they tolerated them. They have their own lives, and I imagine many parents are blindsided by this new generation that actually wants to know their family as friends.

I've forgiven my parents, even if we'll never talk again. I've gotten to the point where I don't hate them anymore, and that's good enough for me. I'd hate being subjugated, and in turn, would not expect others to subjugate themselves to me.

Have you tried karate chopping them into submission? 😅
