Today I realized that

I may look like my mom, but I’m more like my dad on the inside

He’s hard working, determined, humble, caring… my role model in life
And she’s like the complete opposite.

I don’t think my parents know that i know this, but I remember when I was around 12, i overheard them talk about divorce several times. I was heartbroken and hid my pain as best as I could 💔 I can’t remember what specifically changed or why they decided to stay together but even back then I knew that if they did separate, I wanted to live with him.

I don’t hate my mom… but she’s the example of who I don’t want to be for my future children…

Similar vibe here. I am supposed to have more of my mom's looks but I have always aspired to be more like my dad. It's in the moments that I feel like him that I feel I'm doing something right. My mom is complicated, or at least our relationship is. It was heavily tainted in my most difficult years when she just couldn't be bothered to help or even listen.

Parents aren't always good at being parents.

Fortunately I'm great at being a fish robot.

@UBotMate I’m sorry you had to deal with a similar situation 😕 You’re right, not all parents are angels, and it’s something that isn’t really talked about either

Be the best fish/robot you can be 😂
