Did you ever complain as a teenager that your parents were a couple of clowns? I never did, but it turns out they were!

1. My parents were critical of me in my late teens so I was critical of them.

3. Sorry to hear that. I had supportive parents for the most part.

They did have restrictions that I could live with for the most part.

4. Oh mine would do anything for us, don't get me wrong.

I was very sensitive and introverted and my dad would criticize me for not going out Friday and Saturday night. I needed decades of solitude and a few close friends over my life. He didn't get that. My mom would correct my language when I was challenged with words because I was dyslexic. She wanted me to speak the king's English. I needed to just feel comfortable speaking any which way. I was so quiet. Thing is my parents were quiet, sensitive, passive & vulnerable people too, so I don't know why they just wouldn't let me be me.
