    That’s totally fair and you’re right. My mistake is assuming people are good parents and that their children love them.

      This is an article about an Olympian whose parents, both birth parents, failed her and her sister. They focused on drugs/alcohol instead of being a parent.

      I wouldn’t want anything to do with her mom either. Her grandparents were her caregivers growing up. They should get love from her. They raised her.

      No worries, it’s not easy to imagine that kind of thing if you have a good relationship with your parents.
