On not having a relationship with your parents

TW - Childhood abuse, Depression, Suicidal Ideation How do you accept that your parents never were and never will be the parents they’re supposed to be? How do you deal with that? How do you protect yourself? Alex is sharing his story, from early childhood to both parents eventually becoming homeless, and how he did so on this episode of “really real”. Not having talked to either of his parents for multiple years now, he shares with us why he chose to stop talking to one after the other as well as how he came to terms with them never being the parents he needed. He also talks about other people’s reactions and what he thought was normal growing up, but, in reality, was abusive parenting, and how he successfully dealt with alllll of that.
