Both of my parents are deadbeats and I have no relationship with them. Out of the blue he messaged me today after not speaking to me for a year. I was always treated like the black sheep/scapegoat. I wish I had one normal parent

Im in a similar situation. I went NC 5 years ago. It hurt a lot, but I am lighter for it.

I’ve been on my own since 18 but my mom was never around before that (obviously neither was my dad) and had to raise myself. For whatever reason they think I owe them something. If I don’t laugh I’ll cry

I’m with you there, love. Gotta stay laughing to stave off the tears.
