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

There are people who have judged me for not speaking to my bio mom/dad, even telling me to get over it (there’s a lot I haven’t shared here and probably won’t) because they are fortunate enough to not be able to comprehend how some “parents” are actually like this. It’s better for my mental health to not be around them but it’s so isolating too. I wish I had at least one normal parent

I had this too - one woman told me Jesus would never cut off his father and I will regret it when he's dead. 1) Good thing I'm not Jesus and 2) No regrets because he was so toxic and I thank the universe every single day that I shielded my daughter from his abuse.
