Complicated. I am neurodivergent and they didn’t know how to deal with that. A lot of mistakes were made based on piss poor information that left me somewhat scarred. I think the best description for my relationship with them during my later childhood would be “professional”. I didn’t talk about who I was or what I felt, I got home from school, went to my room, came out for dinner to be asked meaningless questions, and then went to bed. It was not bad in that I was suffering but it did mean that I will forever struggle to emotionally connect with them. I’ve been in college for a few years now and they seem to want a relationship now that I am gone but I find it so hard to respond to their texts. I never call them and they rarely call me. Mostly I just text them every month so that they know I am alive
