I know you talk about your parents for yourself and not for randomers on the internet, but it is very comforting to me to see other people talk about this stuff? As someone with an equally weird and malicious family, it REALLY helps. thank you, a lot
oh dude no problem, i can talk about me for ages.
(realtalk that is a super nice affirming helpful thing to say, it makes me feel good and safe and  happy, i am still figuring me out but what i have figured out so far is that i want to be a resource for people like me and people on this same awful road)
(further realtalk, i am as of right now committed to being an ACTUAL resource on that topic, if any of  you need help or insight or support, anon or not, let me know, i will Talk Words At You or recommend literature or rec some feelgood books or movies or games.)
