Nah. Please do not blame yourself for being a child that didn’t have emotional regulation. Please hold parents to the bare minimum standard of providing modeling of it. Throwing shit or hitting you is not healthy modeling.
They did their best. Given the parents they both had honestly it’s a miracle that I was only abused the amount I was abused. I know that doesn’t give them a free pass on making parenting mistakes but it does give context for their emotional shortcomings as parents.
I have grown to forgive them regardless of their mistakes in my youth.
Can’t change the past but we can make changes for the collective future.
