The words came to me while driving earlier cause like do I trust that everything they do is in the best interest to keep me physically alive and do they care for me more deeply than I can probably fathom? No doubt but the way they go about it is not conducive for me wanting to at all times stay alive and there are emotional scars that have become trenches dug through little comments and actions throughout the years that can’t be cleanly healed but they were also two people trying their best
Yeah that’s a great way to put it. I had an argument with my dad the other day and that’s how he looks at it. He said shit like “I don’t have to love you, but I choose to love you by giving you a roof and food in your mouth.” And I said that there’s a difference between love and doing the bare necessities of having a kid. Like he equates providing with love. Which in a sense is correct, it it definitely isn’t everything.
