What did you never see or hear your parents do?

I never heard my mother sing - I never saw my dad throw or catch a ball.

Never saw my dad be "normal" around me.
Never saw my mother dressed up.

Your comments are always interesting as all get out - care to explain "normal"?

About your mom - wow. Never?? Not even for a wedding or a funeral?
@rinkydinkydoink My dad was never around me much so he never knew what to say to me or how to behave when he was. He also has quite a lot of guilt for having not been there so he's often nervous and sometimes inebriated when I've been near him.

No, I've never seen her dressed up for really anything. My birth mother was an addict and a prostitute... My dad was also a drunk (married to someone else so usually with his other family) an addict and a wife beater, so in jail often, hence the guilt etc. it's a long story.

There isn't a whiff of vitriol or resentment in your comments. You are blessed with a wise and understanding soul.
@rinkydinkydoink I have had a good long while to sit and think about all the reasons behind it and what it means to myself as well as my siblings both full and half. Lots of time for introspection and healing and letting things go as well. I decided that even though that part is kind of set in stone, the rest is up to me and it is so lovely to be able to choose happiness for the road ahead. 😊
