Without bringing the whole community down with details, I would change every aspect of my childhood If I could, but only one?? I did not have the world's worst mother, but I had/have a very damaged one and she inflicted her severe wounds onto me (physical & emotional abuse). The largest being the fact that she was aware of an awful abuse that occurred when I was 6, but never did a thing about it. At 41, I've recently become aware of some very heavy mommy issues that I'm still dealing with despite having done enormous personal growth (and consequently, being a pretty terrific mother!). So, if I could change one thing? That's it. A different mom. Or a better version of the one I had.

I hope you can find peace.
Have normal parents? Maybe the same parents, but more happy with themselves.
Me too
