To anyone who had loving parents

Can you describe what it was like growing up or even now, having someone love you and accept you? I'm trying to reparent myself but it seems unfathomable to me that I could feel warmth from a parent or myself.

I had loving parents and I have a loving wife of 47 years. What do you mean by reparent?

@hippyjoe1955 Meaning for those who had neglectful, bullying, evil , or abusive parents, as an adult they say to reparent yourself to give yourself the acceptance, love or assurance every person needs to feel a whole person. Only it's really hard trying to provide myself with those things, because it's etched in me I don't deserve basic rights or goodness. I'm working hard at it though.

@Coralmist Have you tried forgiveness? Forgiveness simply meaning not letting the one(s) who hurt you have any further power over you?
