My mother died from cancer when I was 15, and my father is currently in a nursing home because of his dementia, but how great is the relationship between people like us and our parents? Is there a correlation?
I did not hate my parents growing up, but they were not around much because of their jobs and while they were quite sympathetic to having a son with a potentially-severe psychiatric disorder, they themselves were unsure what advice to give to somebody like me, since a lot of my circumstances were unusual. They honestly tried their best to be good parents but there was a limit to what they could do.
Is this typical for people like us?
