It's good that you are opening to discuss and go through this. The point is not to hold a grudge against anybody but to learn and become a better person onwards. Perhaps you have or will have kids one day and then you'll be able to have a better time with them and that alone will make it worth it. >at least I ended up being fiercely independent and learned to cook. This, fortunately or unfortunately, is one of the outcomes of growing up like that. You learn to do on your own and become very resilient. That usually pays off later in life, so it has some sort of a silver lining.

> It's good that you are opening to discuss and go through this. Is it? I don't intend to hijack OP's particular story but I'm actually very interested in this assertion and I know nothing of the scientific evidence for psychology. So this is an honest question not a troll... Is it actually good for people to "open up" and "work through" things? I know that's the accepted wisdom, but what good has it been proven to do? Are you actually more likely to become a better person? How is that measured?
