How many of you have nice parents that listen? (lemmy.ml)

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

I have two great parents

My best friend has one, with the other one being an violent alcoholic

My SO has a brain damaged (literally) father and a hyper conspirational spiritual mother.

The more I learn about everyone else's parents the more thankful I get

Both of mine are dead.

My parents aare the same as your SOs. Except, my dad is super religious too. But I suspect he doesn't even actually believe. It's mostly an excuse to talk shit about people he don't like.

The SO's parents, are they financially in bad times chronically?

[–] bigboismith@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Unclear, both have held normal jobs with normal pay but there never seemed to be money over for their children. Now the brain damaged one is living of pensions and the other one is spending all their money on online gurus and shamans.
