Holidays are often a difficult time for many people, and I'm no exception. It typically brings up a lot of "stuff" that people try to otherwise shove down. I think it's important for people to recognize the privilege they have in their lives if they grew up in a loving, caring home with 2 parents who stayed married and GENUINELY loved each other and didn't just settle. I'm sure it's not the majority of people, sadly, but if a person is lucky enough to grow up this way, I imagine life would be much easier than those of us who grew up in dysfunctional, abusive homes without healthy role models. There is no need for people to feel badly or guilty about it. It just IS. If you grew up this way, just appreciate it for what it is. I'd be lying if I said I'm not insanely jealous of you. I wish I knew what it felt like. Instead, I'll do my damnedest to give this life to my own children. No one "gets over" a shitty childhood; we simply live each day and try to do so with intention. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3lA5dfC
