I was raised by two cold, withholding, rejecting and abusive parents. My mother told me once how my father sobbed when I was born because I was a girl and not the son he had hoped for. Not a good omen for sure.
My coming out lesbian was the icing on the cake. Neither spoke to me for 15 years after I told them.
My life was actually easier during those years- no expectations, no criticism. I reconnected with them as they were aging and my brothers had moved away. I was still trying to be the good daughter I guess-even though it was the unachievable.
They do not ask question one about me or my life. It is all about them. I listen, ask them about themselves and they talk on, oblivious.
It is what it is. They are who they are.
