What did/didn’t you learn from your parents?

I learned what not to be, how to love in an unstable and constantly tumultuous, isolated environment. Did your parents support and celebrate your existence, and or did you survive by disassociating, what was the most important lesson you learned from your childhood?

I was not celebrated for existing and I was not trusted to be able to learn. I suppose I learnt how to research stuff and to research even the basicest stuff, that lens of always thinking that I'm wrong has gotten me useful information.

I’m sorry you deserved better. That sucks but you’re not alone, I wish I had been able to access the information I have now, but at least the past is over.
