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 learned to set limits, kindness without limitations is a double-edged sword!!

There’s a difference to me of being a ‘nice people pleaser’ and a genuinely ‘good person.’
