my parents were difficult people who each had a lousy childhood but in different ways. As an adult, I understand how hard it was for them to be parents and that "doing the best they could" may have not have been enough, but they cared and they tried.

My dad runs marathons and my stepdad is one of the most successful engineers in his field. I’d be okay being like them.

And it breaks my heart because I know my mom worked so hard to be better than her parents, and she is in many ways, but it just wasn’t enough.

My parents didn’t end up like their own. But that doesn’t mean they broke the cycle of trauma that their parents left behind

The only reassurance I have is knowing that while my parents are flawed in ways I hope to not repeat, every generation is just a bit better than the last.

I think about this ALL THE TIME. I want my kids to be better than me but the idea that they might want to be nothing like me breaks me a little.

The hardest pill to swallow is not wanting to be like ur parents but then subconsciously starting to act like them and then eventually realizing how much of an effect they had on you
