Irritated that my family pats themselves on the back for all my accomplishments

I know I shouldn’t care, but they get under my skin. I come from a cornucopia of abuse and neglect. It was definitely a ‘ fend for yourself’ upbringing, which.. thankfully I did/do.

Yet with every bit of progress I made/make they are proud —- of themselves

As if my ability to survive/overcome is a success story of their parenting. 😑 It’s a little insulting.
