In my case, my parents are passive parents. They do not get actively involved in "parenting", but always wait for one of their kids to come to them. It leads to very toxic children and mental health issues. They say my bipolar disorder is inherited, but I really don't think the environment in which I was brought up helped. I had a large support network as a teenager and so managed, but as I recall, my parents never made any effort to get involved in shaping me as a person.
I was curious about "Spare", Prince Harry's memoir, and I think there are some similarities between me and him. We both have mental health challenges (although mine are probably more severe) and we both have gripes against our family.
It is a process, getting used to the idea that you don't have a family. I can't deal with my two remaining family members as they are very bad for my health. There is also the issue of them ghosting me and then form 2-ing md and having me arrested.
Hopefully future blog-posts won't be as whiny, but for now, I am just writing what's on my mind.
