Parents you can tell anything to and be heard without judgement, or a list of all your failings in life.

Parents you're not afraid to tell that you tried for something, just in case you fail and it will be used against you for the rest of your life?

Just to clarify, I love my parents and know they love me back, but 10 minutes is literally the limit of co-existence

The alternative is to be angry your whole life and that, in my opinion, is even worse.

    I used to be in no speaking terms with my mom for a long time, but as I said I didn't want to be angry anymore, it's tiresome and ruins your life.
    She didn't improve, but our relationship did because I learned to set boundaries without some sort of "violence escalation" from both sides. It took time and patience, but I think it's one of the fundamental steps to become a real adult and not just a grown up child
