Heavy on “I do in a primal way, the way an animal does. But I never knew who they were. I’m sure they were beautiful ppl as children” whew

I only realised in my 30s that not everyone gets to have loving parents who are good to you. It drove me to tell mine how amazing they are. My heart goes out to anyone dealing with this.

My dad never made an effort and was always emotionally vacant. I often wonder what I'll feel when he goes.

Some people in the comments grew up in a loving household and you can tell cuz they can’t even comprehend what she’s saying.

Jimmy Carr said similar - most comedians are not depressed - they learn how to adapt and cheer people up in their lives

Whoa. Her saying she loved them in a "primal way" just gave me a term to describe my feelings I think. I ache for the concept of parents and ya know they're my blood but I don't want them in my life.

Find it intriguing when ppl who have parents get surprised. Like. You spend your whole life grieving them when they’re alive. The parents you should have had.
