My parents have done many helpful things for me throughout my life.
They've also done things to traumatize me from childhood.
I feel horrible saying that second part because I know that they never meant to hurt me intentionally.
Recently, I watched a man give a speech. He teared up as he described the moment when he, his adopted son, and the biological father were sitting in court. The judge asked the child where his father was. The child turned toward him, and said, "Right there!"
I teared up listening to it because I know that I've failed to give my parents that kind of recognition and love. I feel like a monster.
