Have your parent(s) embarrassed you a lot growing up and how did it affect you now that you’re an adult?

I’m just curious to know. I learned a lot realizing things, looking back on my childhood and how it relates to affecting me as an adult.

They did each in radically different ways. I lost my mom 20 years ago but I definitely am a lot more sensitive and connected to my child's feelings and emotional needs than my parents were to me.
Some of how I am as an adult was shaped by my childhood traumas.
