“I love both of my parents, but it’s just frustrating that I constantly have to prove that I’m a real adult around them.”
of things their parents did with good intentions that actually ended up hurting them later in life. Here are a few of those stories:"Coddling and avoidance behavior. My parents used to allow me to stay home 'sick' from school and other events whenever I felt anxious about facing an issue that may be going on, which was A LOT, with my being an anxious kid.
"My dad is a good parent, but I definitely think he would have been a better parent if his generation knew and understood more about mental health. I truly think he was as lost in his own battle as I was in mine. The good thing is that now I have the opportunity to help him. He recently came to me explaining how his anxiety was getting worse and asking for advice. I'm going to help him finally get the treatment he needs.
"He said that was a bad idea and agreed to tell me. I was heartbroken and shocked. I found out, years later, that he was very ill and his death was not really a surprise. I’ll never forgive that I didn’t get to say goodbye. "Now as adults, my siblings and I have a hard time asking for help, admitting when something is wrong, and being honest with our emotions. We don’t want to bother anyone or be a 'burden,' etc. when we’re sad or in pain. I know this causes more harm in the long run because a problem won’t magically disappear if you ignore it; sometimes it gets worse. But still, after years of therapy, I still put on a smile and then cry once I get home alone.
