I feel like although I ignored it a lot, it really got to me and changed me a lot

Yes. They are your first model of how relationships go. You will duplicate it in your own relationships. Of course you can choose now to not do what they do. I did that and now I'm in my 50's and finally ok with myself.

@Steve42 I was aware that it was wrong. does that change anything?

@SW-User It's so ingrained into who you are in ways you don't even have a clue about yet. But you can choose to decide to catch yourself modeling their behavior and choose a different behavior. It's takes a lot of self discipline.
